What are examples of reflexive nouns?

There's a bit of a misunderstanding here. There's no grammatical category called "reflexive nouns."

The term "reflexive" typically refers to reflexive pronouns, which are pronouns that refer back to the subject of the sentence.

Here are some examples of reflexive pronouns:

* myself

* yourself

* himself

* herself

* itself

* ourselves

* yourselves

* themselves

For example:

* She hurt herself while playing. (The pronoun "herself" refers back to the subject "she")

* We built the house ourselves. (The pronoun "ourselves" refers back to the subject "we")

While nouns can be used in reflexive constructions, they aren't considered "reflexive nouns." It's the pronoun that is reflexive, not the noun itself.
