II. COMPOUND PERSONALS.
The word self, added to the simple personal pronouns, forms the class of compound personal pronouns; which are used when an action reverts upon the agent, and also when some persons are to be distinguished from others: as, sing, myself, plur. ourselves; sing, thyself, plur. yourselves; sing, himself, plur. themselves; sing, herself, plur. themselves; sing, itself, plur. themselves. They all want the possessive case, and are alike in the nominative and objective. Thus:—
MYSELF, of the FIRST PERSON,[202] any of the genders.
Sing. Nom. myself, Plur. Nom. ourselves, Poss. ------, Poss. ---------, Obj. myself; Obj. ourselves.
THYSELF, of the SECOND PERSON, any of the genders.
Sing. Nom. thyself,[203] Plur. Nom. yourselves, Poss. -------, Poss. ----------, Obj. thyself; Obj. yourselves.
HIMSELF, of the THIRD PERSON, masculine gender.
Sing. Nom. himself, Plur. Nom. themselves, Poss. -------, Poss. ----------, Obj. himself; Obj. themselves.
HERSELF, of the THIRD PERSON, feminine gender.
Sing. Nom. herself, Plur. Nom. themselves, Poss. -------, Poss. ----------, Obj. herself; Obj. themselves.
ITSELF, of the THIRD PERSON, neuter gender.
Sing. Nom. itself, Plur. Nom. themselves, Poss. ------, Poss. ----------, Obj. itself; Obj. themselves.
