Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

    2. B. With a subst., usually with special reference to the person addressed, that of yours, that mentioned by or related to you (cf. iste): istac lege filiam tuam sponden mihi dari? Plaut.
