SIBI-P1 Translation G1683-02
myself
| Morphological Notes | Reflexive pronoun; first person; accusative case; masculine; singular (Gr,RE,,,1AMS); functions as direct object referring to the speaker. |
| Rendering Rationale | As the accusative masculine singular form of the first-person reflexive pronoun, it functions as the direct object referring back to the speaker. "Myself" preserves both the reflexive force and the first-person singular reference inherent in the morphology. |
