Reflexive Pronoun

In Greek, the reflexive pronoun is formed periphrastically by the noun `eautos' preceded by the definite article and followed by the possessive pronoun (e.g. ``tou eautou mou''). It is inflected only for two cases, genitive (`eautou') and accusative (`eauto').

In the Greek Morphological Lexicon, we have coded the relevant forms of the lemma `eautos' as a noun; when encountered in the above compound form, it must be recognised as a reflexive pronoun. The following table shows examples for the values it must be assigned when found in the genitive case.
