Postmodification of possessive pronouns is not possible
quickinfo

Possessive pronouns may not be postmodified, as the following example illustrates:

1
*Myn allinnich boeken
my only books
Books of me only
readmore

This holds true of non-pronominal possessors as well:

2
*De kaptein allinnich syn skip
the captain only his ship
The ship of the captain only

Strong object pronouns, in contrast, may be postmodified:

3
Him allinnich wol ik tsjinje
Him only want I serve
I want to serve Him only
