The suffix pronoun is an interesting, and very common, tool in
Egyptian. These personal pronouns are attached to the end of verbs, nouns, or
prepositions:
he sends
his name
to him
There are also duals (forms expressing a pair). But these are rare, with the plural normally used, instead.
One of the uses of the suffix pronoun is to express "-self"
(myself, yourself, himself...): 
(himself) or 
(himself).
Also, the possessive pronoun (possessive pronomial adjective) may also be
expressed as
(his), instead of
with just a suffix pronoun as shown above.
Note: In all of the above examples, which use the suffix pronoun -f, the other suffix pronouns can also be used.
Books on Egyptian often use the older English "thou" ("you" as subject), "thee" ("you" as object), and "thy" ("your"), when translating personal pronouns into English. "Thine" is "thy" before a word with a vowel sound.
See the Egyptian alphabet to see what sounds the transliteration symbols represent.
