Etymology

From hör (“their”) +‎ -ens (genitival suffix).

Probably formed after üsens and jamens, which are derived from object pronouns (meaning that the genitive makes more sense than in a derivation from what is already a possessive). Additionally or alternatively all of these forms may also have been influenced by Danish vores, jeres, deres.

notes The reduced forms with an apostrophe are enclitic; they immediately follow verbs or conjunctions. Dü is deleted altogether in such contexts. At is not enclitic; it can stand in any unstressed position and refers mostly to things. In reflexive use, only full object forms occur.
Dual forms wat / onk and jat / jonk are obsolete, as is feminine jü / hör.
Independent possessives are distinguished from attributive ones only with plural referents. The forms üsens, jamens, hörens are used optionally (and decreasingly) when the possessor is a larger community, such as a village, city or nation.
