the strategy of construing the affected subject participant as a single role in a reflexive or reciprocal event; hence, it is expressed by a single argument phrase in a reflexive construction or a reciprocal construction. Examples: English Sam shaved and Mary and Sue met construe the participants -- Sam, and Mary and Sue, respectively -- as playing a single role in the shaving and meeting events. The single role strategy may also be overtly coded: the Abkhaz Reflexive l-c̜ə-l-k°abe-yt' She washed (herself) is an Intransitive Verb form with the Reflexive prefix c̜ə-, and the Swahili Reciprocal wa-na-pend-an-a they love each other is an Intransitive Verb form with the Reciprocal suffix -an.
