Alternation ‘Reflexive causative (kįį)’ (Coded)

The causative verb kįį expresses a reflexive meaning (A causes self to do X). In constructions with the reflexive causative, causer and causee are identical. They are both expressed through the Actor indexing on the causative verb. It is therefore not a valency increasing operation, it merely re-arranges the valency. This causative can also have reciprocal reading with plural As (A& U cause each other to do X).
