It seems surprising that Seine has no German entry. Equinox 12:34, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

In this phrase, it's just a substantivisation of seine ("his"). Since any adjective can be substantivised this way ("das Abenteuerliche ist..."), it's probably been a low priority to create such forms. I'm not even entirely sure other people would want them to have entries, although IMO they're OK, as long as the "definitions" use something like {{substantivisation of}} to redirect users to the adjectives. - -sche (discuss) 17:10, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
