At LSA I was talking with David Rood and Soeren Wichmann (from Denmark) about
Soeren's active-stative LSA paper. He made the point, confirmed by David, that
in Dakotan, reflexive verbs take the stative pronominal set as subject prefixes.
I don't know how that fact escaped me all this time, but I find it very strange
indeed, since, in Dhegiha, reflexives of active verbs take the active subject
pronominals exclusively.
So my question is: In the other Siouan languages are subject pronominals of
active verbs still active when the verb is reflexivized?
