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.
