Reflexive Pronouns are used in the Oblique Cases to refer to the subject of the sentence or clause in which they stand: as, (i) se leubhet, he loves himself.
a. In the first and second persons the oblique cases of the Personal pronouns are used as Reflexives: as, eg me widemi, I see myself; tu te pretias, you praise yourself; we nos perswademos, we persuade ourselves.
b. The Reflexive pronoun of the third person has a special form used only in this sense, the same for both singular and plural. It is thus declined:
| ACC. | s(w)e, himself, herself, itself, themselves |
| GEN. | sewe, of himself, herself, itself, themselves |
| OBL. | sebhi, soi, to/in/with/by himself, herself, itself, themselves |
