Missing sense? "Mining" BitCoins (or other cryptocurrency)

[edit]

What does it mean?

Determiner vs. Pronoun

[edit]

Aren't senses 4 and 5 of the "pronoun" actually determiners? Specifically, sense 5 is used syntactically identically to my. Sense 4 seems similar, but as a postnominal determiner. -- Mocha2007 (talk) 13:59, 13 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Edit: for clarity, referring to these two:

4 - Used attributively after the noun it modifies. "You, brother mine, that entertain'd ambition, ..."

5 - Used attributively before a vowel.: "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord"

[edit]
ahuramin: m.n. PBH Ahriman, the spirit of evil in the Zoroastrian religion. From Avestic "anra - mainyu" = the evil spirit); lit.: * the hostile spirit'.
