Definition
the strategy of recruiting the transitive construction to use as a reciprocal construction but with only one 'direction' of the reciprocal event directly expressed. Example: the Tonga sentence Joni ba-la-yand-ana amukaintu wakwe 'John and his wife love each other' is literally 'John mutually-loves his wife', with amukaintu wakwe 'his wife' as Direct Object and also an overt Reciprocal suffix -ana on the verb. (Section 7.2)
