The word "moko" meaning "number one" is special in that it is also used to convey the idea of self.

When used with a personal pronoun: Mpo na ngai moko

This means for myself (literally: for me self). This works with any and all personal pronouns:

ngai moko myself
biso moko ourself
ye moko himself/herself
bango moko themself
yo moko yourself (singular)
bino moko yourselves (plural)
yango moko itself or themselves (inanimate)
