  Comment

  Reflexivity can be expressed by transitive VCs without an explicit object. Put differently, the object of the transtive VC is a zero argument. Zero arguments are common in Teop.

  • • Example 9342:
      

      vii vatopo bana ni tea veoveo.

      (Motaasun saw it and she went,) again stuck herself in the (ground of the) village square.
