The reflexive pronouns are as follows:—

SINGULAR. PLURAL.
mé féin, myself sinn féin, ourselves
tú féin, thyself siḃ féin, yourselves
é féin, himself
í féin, herself
iad féin, themselves

207. The above are also used as emphatic pronouns; as, Ċuaḋamar a ḃaile, mé féin agus é féin. Both he and I went home.

208. The Personal Pronouns have no declension.

It has already been shown that mo, do, a, etc., which are usually given as the genitive cases of the personal pronouns, are not pronouns, but adjectives; because they can never be used without a noun.

The compounds of the pronouns with the preposition do (to) are usually given as the dative cases of the personal pronouns; but agam, agat, etc., or the compounds with any of the other prepositions in par. 216, are just as much the datives of the personal pronouns as dom, duit, &c. Hence the Irish personal pronouns have no declension.

209. The Personal Pronouns have however two forms:​—​The conjunctive and the disjunctive. The conjunctive forms are used only immediately after a verb as its subject; in all other positions the disjunctive forms must be used. The disjunctive forms are also used after the verb is.
