Frequency

Pronounced as (IPA)

[ˈmew]

Inherited from Latin

Borrowed from Latin

In summary

Inherited from Old Catalan meu, from Latin meum, from Proto-Italic *meos. The feminine form was mia in Old Catalan, but this was extended to meva or meua by analogy with the masculine form. This happened because the -u was not understood as a masculine ending anymore, having been lost in nouns (unlike Spanish, Portuguese and Italian -o). The weak possessive mon is also from Latin meum, but as an unstressed monosyllabic form.
