Abstract

Walman has two reflexive constructions, one involving a verbal prefix that occurs in the same position as first and second person object prefixes, the other a nominal construction that combines the genitive form of a pronoun with a word ein, which otherwise means 'base of tree' or 'reason'. The verbal prefix is also used as a reciprocal construction and the majority of instances of the verbal prefix in texts are either reciprocal or lexicalized.
