Examples:

*''Cema sysh.'' "He washes him."

**''Cema '''ys'''.'' "He washes himself."

*''Danai zu duti zur.'' "She read her book." (perhaps someone else owns it)

*''Danai zu duti ~~'''~~yr~~'''~~.'' "She read hew own book." (definitely owned by the subject)

**''Danai zu duti yr.'' "She read hew own book." (definitely owned by the subject)

*Nominative form is used for emphasizing the head: ''~~Koma (shy)~~ yy sish.'' "He himself did it."

*Nominative form is used for emphasizing the head: ''Komai yy sish.'' "He himself did it."

**This also gives the meaning "by oneself" to other persons: ''Komin yy sish!'' "I did it by myself!"

'''Reciprocal'''

When something happens similarly between one another, preposition ''sa'' (with someone) is used with the pronoun:

*''Böjomoo bos.'' "We are listening to ourselves."

**''Böjomoo '''sa bor'''.'' "We are listening to one another."

*''Fetus dutesh (votyr) sa votyr.'' "You share (your) books with one another."

When reciprocal is the indirect object, ''sa'' is not used, only reflexive:

*''Pekos dutesh uci.'' "They give books to one another." (They give books to themselves)
