her

The english language is mostly a germanic language. The english word her is a simple example of the relationship between the english and german languages. The german posessive adjective for her is ihr.

On a related note: in german, the dative personal pronoun meaning "to her" is also ihr, and for the meaning "to him" it is ihm. The relationship between ihm and him is yet another example of this relation between the two languages.

HER is the American name for the Scandanavian rock quartet H.I.M.. H.I.M. was forced the change their name after it was discovered that another band based out of Chicago is also known as H.I.M. If the credits to Bam Margera's CKY4 video are to be believed, the Chicago version of H.I.M. sucks.

Her (?), pron. she. he. See He.

The form of the objective and the possessive case of the personal pronoun she; as, I saw her with her purse out.

The possessive her takes the form hers when the noun with which it agrees is not given, but implied. "And what his fortune wanted, hers could mend."

Dryden.
