monoclausal transitive reciprocal strategy
the strategy of recruiting the transitive construction to use as a reciprocal construction but with only one direction of the reciprocal event directly expressed. Example: the Tonga sentence Joni ba-la-yand-ana amukaintu wakwe John and his wife love each other is literally John mutually-loves his wife, with amukaintu wakwe his wife as Direct Object and also an overt Reciprocal suffix -ana on the verb. (Section 7.2)
