It is often translated as myself, yourself, ourselves, yourselves, hisself, herself, or themselves.

How about changing "hisself" to "himself"?

A reflexive pronoun can be used to intensify an action in some way.

Does it intensify the action or the reference to the entity that the pronoun represents? I'll try to think of a simple way of wording it.

He did it himself.

Drew. I changed "hisself" to "himself."

I forgot to ask about "intensify an anction in some way." Shall I change it to something like this?

A reflexive pronoun can be used to emphasize the person or thing that the pronoun refers to.
