1. ^{a b} The possessive forms were used as genitives before words beginning with a vowel sound and letter h (e.g. thine eyes, mine heire). Otherwise, "my" and "thy" is attributive (my/thy goods) and "mine" and "thine" are predicative (they are mine/thine). Shakespeare pokes fun at this custom with an archaic plural for eyes when the character Bottom says "mine eyen" in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
2. ^{a b} From the early Early Modern English period up until the 17th century, his was the possessive of the third person neuter it as well as of the 3rd person masculine he. Later, the neologism its became common.
3. Theyr was sometimes used as the genitive form of they. "Theyr" appears in the famous soliloquy To be, or not to be in the Second Quarto of Hamlet by William Shakespeare as theyr currents.
