Hypertext Webster Gateway: "Meum"

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)

Meum \Me"um\, n. [L., neut. of meus mine.]
Lit., mine; that which is mine; -- used in the phrase meum et
tuum, or meum and tuum; as, to confound meum and tuum, to
fail to distinguish one's own property from that of others;
to be dishonest.

Ancestors . . . generally esteemed more renowned for
ancient family and high courage than for accurately
regarding the trifling distinction of meum and tuum.
--Sir W.
Scott.
