لَيِّ — of mine. This word closes the 'of' pairing begun by the noun before it: as the owning, second term it sits in the genitive. Whether read as a name or 'of mine', its grammatical role is fixed by position, the last link in the possessive chain that specifies whose place the drinking happened at.
