English term or phrase: His own daughter betrayed him.
Hello / Bon dia,
I was wondering how this sentence would be said in Catalan? I know that in Spanish it is 'Su propria hija lo traiciono.'
Any help with a translation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Brian Costello

Explanation:
In catalan "own" = "propi/propia" can be used only as adjective: casa propia, cotxe propi. It means that it belongs to you. In the case of persons we cannot use this term. We could say: la seva filla mateixa el va trair, but I don't see the need of doing so.

Excuse the lack of graphic stress in "propia", things of computers.
