Description:

The term 'win' means 'self'. It doesn't have a commonly used verbal sense.

Win is used as a head term to make a pronoun reflexive, and as such it is important for its grammatical function. Refer to attached article on Verbs. The modifier form winys is used to make reflexive constructions more emphatic and to clarify the reflexive intention of some antipassive reflexives.

As well, 'winys' means 'alone' or 'by oneself'. It does not directly have the connotation of 'selfishness'.  The idea of 'selfish' can be conveyed as 'upána na win', 'for the self'.
