IMO the reason is the strong resemblance of the syngenionyms (is that even a word?) to proper names in everyday usage, but only in their very basic form (non-diminutive, non-modified, etc.) and with a proper possessive pronoun (mio, tuo from Latin meus, tuus as opposed to loro, which is not an original possessive pronoun as it comes from illorum, genitive plural of ille). | |
