Morphology

3rd-person pronoun / intensive / identical · 1st/2nd-declension

Alone in nom. = he/she/it. In predicate = -self. With the article = the same.

Three uses: (1) by itself in nom. = he/she/it; (2) predicate position = -self (intensive); (3) with the article = ‘the same’. Oblique cases αὐτοῦ/αὐτῷ/αὐτόν are the ordinary 3rd-person him/her/it.
