Unfortunately, my conlang Wenedyk is much too young and small for this kind of
language. That's why I'll do it in Hattic instead:
Ips sfo, uzaf zõ! (singular)
Ipsas sfo, uzaf uf! (dual)
Ipsac sfo, uzaf u! (plural)
"Fuck yourself, I hate you!"
ipsaz = to fuck (ips, ipsas, ipsac = IMPERATIVE sg., du., pl.)
sfo = reflexive pronoun (ACC)
uzuz = to hate (uzaf = PRESENT INDICATIVE 1s)
zu = you (sg.) (zõ = ACC)
ju = you (du.) (uf = ACC)
ju = you (pl.) (u = ACC)
As you can see, the reflexive pronoun <sfo> does not change under the
influence of number.

This sentence applies only when the object of the sentence is just one person.
