Nouns with pronoun suffixes
To a noun can be added a suffix meaning “whose” this noun is (as in the English phrase “my horse”). The suffixes are below:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | י (my ~) | נו (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ך (your ~) | כם (your ~) |
| feminine | כן (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | ו/הו (his ~) | ם (their ~) |
| feminine | ה (her ~) | ן (their ~) |
Note: הו is used in Gen. 11:3 for a masculine noun.
Note: הן suffix in Gen. 4:4. So the suffix may be preceded by ה.
In feminine nouns ending with ה that ה is replaced with ת before pronoun suffixes.
