One more comparison will perhaps suffice upon this point. 

 There is a causal particle m which has already been men- 

 tioned. It has a common use associated with the instrumen- 

 tality of the mouth, more particularly with that of speech.

§ 38. THE RECIPROCAL VERB 



Now that the tables of the transitive pronominal elements have 

 been shown, it will be convenient to take up the other two classes of 

 transitive verbs; viz., the reciprocals and reflexives. They can be 

 dismissed with a few remarks. Both have much the character of an 

 intransitive verb; in fact, their form is that of an intransitive. The 

 reciprocal expresses mutual participation on the part of two or more 

 subjects, and so the verb does not occur except in plural form or 

 with a plural sense. The reciprocal notion is expressed by ti incor- 

 porated between the stem of the verb and the final, pronominal sign. 

 [It should be noted that in all the examples given, -tl- is the incorpo- 

 rated element, not -ti-. — T. M.] The reciprocal has a reflexive sense, 

 in that it represents the subjects as objects of the action. Its force 

 as a transitive is gathered from the context.
