"我が" meaning in Japanese

See 我が in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

adnominal

IPA: [β̞a̠ɡa̠] Forms: 我が [canonical] (ruby: ()), waga [romanization]
Etymology: Originally a compound of 我 (wa, “I, me”, archaic) + が (ga, particle). Now fossilized into a single term. Note that が in modern Japanese is used as the nominative or subject particle; in ancient Japanese, it was used as a possessive particle between two nouns, a usage still seen in some limited phrases, particularly in place names.
