The Reflexives, Reciprocals, Associatives, and Assistives for the most part require plural agent marking and the Intransitive marker ''-an'', but under certain circumstances, the verb may take a transitive structure with both agent and patient marking.  For example, the Reciprocal Adversarial is required if the Reactive affix co-occurs to mean "do something back at someone". Transitivity raising via Applicatives may also trigger agent  plus patient marking, with the possibility of either or both arguments being singular, as in ''"Iyyamtarkarišpintasaxtinuskihuslapallustakšarekarundurkilwāš!"''
