another Siouan question

[Jan Ullrich]

Paul kichi ichiyamapha. 'Paul and I bumped into each other.' 
from ichiyapha 'to bump into each other' which is a stative verb

Jan,
Can you get examples of animates where the -ichi- expresses reciprocity
between two animates without having a separate outside  agent as with
the 'he' in your examples ie a sentence like wankichiyankapi 'they saw
each other' with an -ichi-

No, I have recorded sentences where animates occur with ichi, as in
 
NuphiN ichiyauNphapi cha ksuyeuNyaNpe lo. 'He hit us against each other
and hurt us.'
IchiwaNwichayaNke. 'He compared them."
