   • 330BCE,Demosthenes,On the Crown Section 28:

     εἶτα τοῦτο μὲν οὐχὶ λέγει τὸ ψήφισμ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ἀναγιγνώσκει: εἰ δὲ βουλεύων ἐγὼ προσάγειν τοὺς πρέσβεις ᾤμην δεῖν,τοῦτόμου διαβάλλει. ἀλλὰ τί ἐχρῆν με ποιεῖν; μὴ προσάγειν γράψαι τοὺς ἐπὶ τοῦθ᾽ ἥκοντας, ἵν᾽ ὑμῖν διαλεχθῶσιν; ἢ θέαν μὴ κατανεῖμαι τὸν ἀρχιτέκτον᾽ αὐτοῖς κελεῦσαι; ἀλλ᾽ ἐν τοῖν δυοῖν ὀβολοῖν ἐθεώρουν ἄν, εἰ μὴ τοῦτ᾽ ἐγράφη. τὰ μικρὰ συμφέροντα τῆς πόλεως ἔδει με φυλάττειν, τὰ δ᾽ ὅλα, ὥσπερ οὗτοι, πεπρακέναι; οὐ δήπου. λέγε τοίνυν μοι τὸ ψήφισμα τουτὶ λαβών, ὃ σαφῶς οὗτος εἰδὼς παρέβη.

     That decree Aeschines neither cites nor reads. I suggested in Council that the Macedonian ambassadors should be introduced;he gives a false account of this (suggestion)of mine. What ought I to have done? Objected to the introduction of men who had come expressly to confer with you? Ordered the lessee not to give them reserved seats in the theatre? But they could have sat in the threepenny seats, if I had not moved my resolution. Or was it my business to take care of the public pence, and put up the state for sale, like Aeschines and his friends? Surely not. Please take and read this decree, which the prosecutor omitted, though he knows it well.

FromAncient Greekμου(mou).

μου• (mou) (possessive and genitive)

1. (as the weak genitivecase form ofεγώ):ofme
2. (possessive)my

   Το παιδίμου κι εγώ.

   To paidímou ki egó.

   My child and I.

   το όνομάμου είναι …

   to ónomámou eínai …

   my name is …

3. (personal, indirect object)me

   Μου είπε την αλήθεια.

   Mou eípe tin alítheia.

   He toldme the truth.

As thedativecase has disappeared from Greek in the modern period, μου has replacedμοι(moi) in functioning to mark the indirect object of a verb. In addition, the English possessive pronoun "mine", once rendered in Ancient Greek byἐμός(emós) with the definite article, is rendered inmodern Greek by the appropriate declentive of the pronounδικός(dikós) followed by μου.

• (personal):εμένα(eména)(strong form)

μου• (mou)

1. (onomatopoeia)moo; the characteristic sound made by acow orbull.
