Definite article + posessive pronoun

Reading orbilat.com, i found out that the other Romance languages *except*
Spanish use the definite articles with the posessive pronouns, agreeing
with the gender of the posessed noun. So, of course i have to add this
feature to Montreiano (so sue me, i got busy and hand't decided this small
detail :))

Anyway, i'm considering several routes with the masculine definite article
with posessive pronouns:

eumi - my
eutu - your
euvostro - your
eusu - his,hers, its
eunostro - our


or:

e'mi
e'tu
e'vostro
e'su
e'nostro

or:

emi
etu
evostro
esu
enostro

I kind of like the third choice the best, but i'd kind of like to get
opinions on it before i decide.


The feminine are easiest:

lami
latu
lavostro
lasu
lanostro
