of oneself
| Morphological Notes | Reflexive pronoun; 3rd person; genitive singular (neuter form); denotes possession or relation back to the subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular reflexive form denotes possession or association belonging to the subject itself. "Of oneself" preserves both the reflexive force and the genitive case indicating ownership or relation. |
