106. From the Genitive of the personal pronoun, are
formed seven possessive pronouns:

of	the	1st	person	Sing.	mitt	minn	mín (mine)
—	—	2nd	—	—	þitt	þinn	þín (thine)
—	—	3rd	—	—	sitt	sinn [[** dansk har sinnn!! **]]	sín (his)
—	—	1st	—	Dual	okkart	okkarr	okkur (your) [[** hvor kommer da our inn her?: dette må være vår i to-tall **]]
—	—	2nd	—	—	ykkart	ykkarr	ykkur [[** dette må være their i to-tall **]]
—	—	1st	—	Plural	vârt	vârr	vâr [[!** dette må være vår i flertall **]]
—	—	2nd	—	—	yðvart	yðvarr	yður [[** dette må være their i flertall **]]

The three first are declined like the article (74), only they
receive a double t in the Neutr. and an accent, when an n
follows the i, as: míns, míns, minnar. The four last
pronouns are declined like indefinite adjectives, but they only
take n (instead of an) in the Acc. Masc. as: okkarn (not
okkaran), vârn (not vâran) etc., but the dissyllabic ones
contract as usual, Dat. okkru, okkrum, okkari.

107. The demonstrative Pronoun is irregular:

        þat, sá, sú, that; þetta, þessi, þessi this;

        hinn, hin, that, the other; declined thus:

Sing.	Nom.	þat	sá	sú	þetta	þessi	þessi
Acc.		þat	þann	þá	þetta	þenna	þessa
Dat.		því	þeim	þeirri	þessu	þessum	þessi (-arri)
Gen.		þess	þess	þeirrar	þessa	þessa	þessar (-arrar)
Plur.	Nom.	þau	þeir	þær	þessi	þessir	þessar
Acc.		þau	þá	þær;	þessi	þessa	þessar.
			⏟			⏟
Dat.			þeim			þessum
Gen.			þeirra			þessarra.

and the article hit, hinn, hin (74) which very frequently
drops the h and forms in it, inn, in, or even et, enn, en.
These are all used as dem. pronouns, but the t is doubled in
the n. g. as hitt, hinn, hin, nor is the h dropped or the
e added, as its pronunciation sounds purer and more emphatic.

108. Relative and interrogative pronouns, are with the
exception of er and sem, the same, as:

        hvârt (hvort), hvârr, hvâr, which of the two

        hvert, hverr, hver, which of many

        hvílíkt, what like, of what kind

both declined as the indef. Adjectiv; only that they take in the
