1 MINN

f., mín, n., mitt, poss. pron.:—in the possessive pronouns minn, þinn, sinn (meus, tuus, suus), mod. usage pronounces i long (í) before one consonant, but short (i) before a double consonant, and accordingly all modern editions of old writers make a distinction in the root vowel, thus, minn, minnar, minni, minna, but mín, mínir, mínar, mínum; whereas the ancients pronounced í throughout, as is seen from Thorodd, who distinguishes between the short i in minna (memorare) and the long í in mínna (meorum), Skálda 163; and still more clearly from rhymes, mítt and hvíti, Bjarn. 63; mínn (meum) and sína, Arnór (Orkn. 104); mítt, frítt, and mítt, sítt, Völs. R. 136, 137. As late as the 14th century, in the corrections by the second hand of the Flatey-book, mijtt = mítt; the older vellums do not distinguish between i and í; cp. also the cognate languages: [Goth. meins; A. S. and O. H. G. mîn; Engl. mine; Germ. mein; Dan. mîn.]

2 MINN

B. Mine and my = Lat. meus, in countless instances: the possessive pronoun is usually put after the noun, bróðir minn, faðir minn; for the sake of emphasis only can it stand before, minn hamar, Þkv. 3; minn dróttinn, Skm. 3; minn Sigurðr, Gkv. 1. 18; míns málvinar, 20; mínu bölvi, id.; mínir bræðr, 2. 3; minn herra, Fms. vii. 197; mínar eru sorgirnar þungar sem blý, Sturl. (in a verse): in eccl. writers, perhaps influenced by Luther’s Bible, this use has increased, and is freq. in the N. T., Pass., Vídal.; in popular speech, however, the old usage still holds good, (cp. Engl. mother mine, etc.)

3 MINN

2. in addressing, my dear! Jón minn! Sigríðr mín! móðir mín! barnið mitt! etc.

4 MINN

II. as neut. subst. mitt; [Gr. το ἐμόν; Lat. meum]:—mine, my part; skal ek ekki mitt til spara, mine, all I have, Nj. 3; malit hefi ek mitt, I have done my share, Gs. 16.

5 MINN

III. ellipt. usage; eru slíkar mínar, such are mine (viz. affairs), Ísl. ii. 245.
