Pronoun

1. context|personal pronoun Er is an object pronoun used instead of hem, haar, het, or hen when such pronoun would be the complement of a preposition (which is not grammatically wrong), in which case er becomes the complement of a postposition. If er is followed immediately by its postposition, the two words can merge to form a pronominal adverb (see the following list of "derived terms").

#: Ik heb ermee gewerkt. — I have worked with it.
#: Je kunt er de bergen boven zien. — You can see the mountains above it.

Inflection
Nominative: er
Accusative: ihn
Dative: ihm
Genitive: seiner

The genitive case seiner is more and more rarely used in modern German.
The genitive case seiner does not express ownership, so one must not mix it up with the possessive pronoun sein, which is declined by gender, singular/plural and case.

Etymology 2
OHG.|de ir.

Prefix
er-

1. Inseparable verbal prefix that indicates a successful conclusion, leads to the wanted result.
