selb

The pronoun selb has two uses.

Reflexive

selb is used in the accusative or possessive, in all persons, as the reflexive pronoun, when the object or possessor is the same as the subject of the sentence:

Eng libant selb plä. "They love themselves most."
Er libet selbs cän. "He loves his (own) dog."
as opposed to Er libet ers cän. "He loves his (probably someone else's) dog."
Ego helfte selb. "I helped myself."

Emphatic

selb may also be used in the nominative, adjacent to the subject in word order, to intensify the subject.

Der könig selb ist hir! "The king himself is here!"
Ego selb helfire ði. "I myself will help you."

Relative Pronoun

The relative pronoun is velk. It is used as the first word of a relative clause.

Der mensch, velk el libet, kenne erm. "The man whom she loves knows him."
Der mensch, velk libet elm, kenne erm. "The man who loves her knows him."
