+Besides the direct and inverse agency prefixes, verbs can also take a reflexive one.

-Reflexivity can be used to disambiguate between cases when the first and second person implications of the proximal deixis would otherwise collapse or as a proximate-obviative distinction.
+Reflexivity can be used to disambiguate between referents.
