[Lingtyp] autobenefactive = dative?

[Cat Butz]

Dear Sergey,

Since two of your examples are Slavic, I'm assuming you're already aware 
of this, but in Polish, there's an autobenefactive construction with the 
dative reflexive pronoun, e.g. 'śpi sobie' "they're sleeping [for 
themself]", 'pali sobie papierosa' "they're smoking a cigarette [for 
themself]" etc. etc.

Warmest,
