There seems to be a bit of inconsistency with "-self" pronouns. Some are possessive while others are objective/subjective:
Consider:
- Yourself
- Ourselves
- Itself(?)
vs:
- Himself
- Herself
- Themselves
- Itself(?)
The first set use the possessive pronoun; the second don't. Why?
Similarly, is "itself" "it"+"-self" or "its"+"-[s]elf"?
