Re: abrahamic names

Using the "i" = of/from rationale, Gabri would mean "He-man of (me)" with "me" being implied (in the absence of another objective owner). "He-man of me" would translate to "my he-man."

Now I understand what you mean. The I then would include not only "of" but also "me" and then mean "my".
That is seen in the "nissi" part of one of God's names in the Bible, YHVH-nissi.
