====Reflection for emphasis====
The reflexive version of pronouns is often used for emphasis or to refer indirectly to a particular person, etc., according to context. ''Herself'', for example, might refer to the speaker's boss or to the woman of the house. Use of ''herself'' or ''himself'' in this way can imply status or even some arrogance of the person in question.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Himself Portrait – Frank McNally on a quintessential Irish pronoun |url= https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/himself-portrait-frank-mcnally-on-a-quintessential-irish-pronoun-1.4077017 |access-date=29 August 2023 |newspaper=The Irish Times}}</ref> Note also the indirectness of this construction relative to, for example, ''She's coming now''. This reflexive pronoun can also be used in a more neutral sense to describe a person's spouse or partner – "I was with himself last night" or "How's herself doing?"
* "'Tis herself that's coming now." {{lang|ga|Is í féin atá ag teacht anois.}}
* "Was it all of ye or just yourself?" {{lang|ga|An sibhse ar fad nó tusa féin a bhí i gceist?}}
