FWIW, "miei", "nosso" and "sos" nevertheless remind me of
the French "miens", "nôtre" and "siens": Les amis, les
siens; Protège le bonne nom, le nôtre; de ses yeux, les
siens. I don't know if you still use those forms, though.
Remi? Max?
In German that would be "die meinigen Freunde", "beschütze
den unsrigen Namen" and "von/aus den seinigen Augen". It
sounds somewhat awkward because the adjectivized (?!)
pronouns can stand on their own. The French examples above
sound weird as well.
