The possessive and emphatic propria specify whose water returns to the residue in cohobation. The detail matters because the process links a body to a component previously drawn from it. Omitting “its own” would make the definition less precise and obscure the text’s recurring concern with natural kinship, belonging, and the restoration of separated components.
