:Reflexive pronouns are formed by prefixal and infixal reduplication of the long form of the free pronouns and have only a long form. The prefixal element ''V-'' applies to CV<sub>1</sub>C- forms, which become V<sub>1</sub>CV<sub>1</sub>C-. The infixal element ''-CC-'' applies to both CVC- and VCV- forms, which geminate the first and second consonant, respectively, of the free form of the pronoun. This lengthening of the consonant compensatorily shortens any subsequent long vowels and drives the elision of final vowels. Regular phonological processes also apply. | :Reflexive pronouns are formed by prefixal and infixal reduplication of the long form of the free pronouns and have only a long form.
