       @nomi subject/object pronouns, not subject/possessive. Feminine singular third person just happens to use "her" for both. So full sets would beI/me/myself/my/mineThou/thee/thyself/thy/thineShe/her/herself/her/hersHe/him/himself/his/hisIt/it/itself/its/itsWe/us/ourselves/our/oursYou/you/yourselves/your/yoursThey/them/themselves/their/theirsbut conventionally we just shorten it the first pair.I'd like to see the second person singular come back!
