"Hir" is a gender-neutral pronoun, and "hir hir" represents its possessive forms. Specifically, the first "hir" functions as a possessive adjective (like "her" in "her book"), and the second "hir" functions as a possessive pronoun (like "hers" in "that book is hers").
Here's a breakdown:
-
Hir (possessive adjective): Used before a noun to show possession. Example: "This is hir book." This means the book belongs to the person who uses ze/hir/hirs pronouns.
-
Hir (possessive pronoun): Used to replace a noun to show possession. Example: "That book is hir." This also means the book belongs to the person who uses ze/hir/hirs pronouns. It replaces "hers."
In summary, "hir hir" signifies the possessive forms used when referring to someone who uses the pronouns ze/hir/hirs. Think of it analogous to "her hers" for someone who uses she/her/hers pronouns.
