Benefactive Reflexives

[Jan Ullrich]

David,

thanks for correcting me. Indeed ii'c?ikcupi is a form of icu (not k?u), as
even my English translations of the sample sentences show :). I was being
sloppy.

I meant to say that I do find occurences of ic?i'c?u, the reflexive and
reflexive benefactive of k?u':

Reflexive:
Tunwe'ya ya'pi kta ic?i'c?upi. = They voluntered to go as scouts (lit.: they
gave themselves ...)

Reflexive benefactive:
Woimagaga ota ic?i'c?u. = He gave himself a lot of ammusement.
