selb
The pronoun selb has two uses.

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.
