I have noticed that the pronoun sein (his) is the same as the verb sein (to be)? Is there some deeper etymological connection or is it just coincidence?
In English it is not unusual for a word to be used in two completely different ways.

Hi there
"sein" (to be) is a verb and "sein" (his) is a possessive pronoun. I did some research but I believe that it is just a coincidence that they look the same in this form.
