αὐτος [20 verses](adj sg masc nom) "He/It" is autos, which means is the singular adjective used as the subject pronoun in the masculine.  It also means "it" because masculine pronouns refer to things or ideas as much as to people.  -- The word translated as "he/it" is the Greek word commonly translated as third-person pronouns in English.  The forme is the singular subject for the sentence, and it is masculine. However, masculine pronouns refer to masculine nouns, not just masculine people so this word can mean "it" as well as "he." Since Greek active verbs include the singular form of the subject, when the subject is clear, this pronoun can be repetitive, emphasizing the subject. This is how we say "he himself" and "it itself" to emphasize the subject. missing "himself/itself" -- (MW)  The subjective pronoun repeats the information in the verb so it should be repeated in English like "he himself or "it itself." MW -- Missing Word -- This subject pronoun duplicates information in the verb so it needs a "himself/itself" after "he/it " for emphasis.
