Well in Jutish and all jutish regiolects we use "hans/hendes/dens/dets"
for "his/her/its" and not "Sin/sit/sine". I have a lot of throuble
getting used to use sin/sit/sine.

I find that somewhat surprising considering that Jutish should be assumed to
have had longer and more consistent (everyday) contacts with Lowlands Saxon
(Low German) than has Danish "proper."  LS has _syn_ (<sien>).  On the other
hand, can anyone think of Jutish/Danish influences on this system in LS
dialects of the extreme north?
