What is the “soi” in : Chacun pour soi

I know that it means "himself" or something like that, but it can not be a pronoms tiniques because :

moi=me

toi=you

lui=him

elle=her

nous=us

vous=you

eux=them

elles=them

So clearly for il we use lui not soi !

Que and Qui'Qu'est que' or 'qu'est qui' marche le mieux ? I find this difficult to understand. This lesson says that Qui is used when the following word is a verb. That's not the case in the example given. How might I understand this more clearly, please? Thanks.

Haïr - what is the correct punctuation?

Bescherelle punctuates haïr in the passé simple as: je haïs, tu haïs, il haït, etc., whereas you insist on: j'hais, tu hais, il hais, etc. Can they both be correct?
