Determiner

mine

1. My; belonging to me.
   1. (archaic) Used attributively after the noun it modifies.
      • a. 1611, William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act V, Scene 1:

        […] Flesh and blood, / You, brother mine, that entertain'd ambition, / […]

Usage notes

• My and mine are essentially two forms of the same word, with my being used attributively before the noun, and mine being used in all other cases, as may be seen in most of the usage examples and quotations above. In this respect, this word is analogous to most of the other possessive pronouns (e.g. your vs. yours), as well as a number of other noun modifiers, such as lone/alone.
• Historically, my came to be used only before a consonant sound, and later came to be used regardless of the following sound. Nonetheless, mine still sees archaic pre-vocalic use, as may be seen in the 1862 quotation above.

Etymology 2

From Middle English, from Old French mine, from Late Latin mina, from Gaulish (compare to Welsh mwyn, Irish mianach (“ore”)), from Proto-Celtic *m?nis (“ore, metal”).
