Ŋʒädär: Further with the Reciprocal

It has previously been stated that the reflexive pronoun ŋul- in Ŋʒädär can encode both reflexive and reciprocal meaning, but that the difference is encoded in whether the pronoun is high in the animacy hierarchy (which implies reciprocality) or low (which implies reflexivity). However, no general reciprocal / reflexive distinction was presented.

Also, the various approaches for reciprocality that exist in Ŋʒädär are not entirely trivial, and we'll find that a variety of interesting behaviours happen with regards to it.

1. Lexical Distinctions (intransitive vs. reciprocal vs. reflexive)
Some intransitive verbs have their meaning changed by turning them into reciprocals or reflexives.

 A few examples include

ʒgaŋ(uk)- 'be part of a tribe or family'
talpa-hus ʒgaŋ-sa

talpa	-hus	ʒgaŋ	-sa
talpa (proper noun)	comitative	be affiliated	1 sg/(intransitive/3sg)-direct
the Talpa clan	with	belong	I

dat ŋul-ır ʒgaŋ-da-z

dat	ŋul	-ır	ʒgaŋ	-da	-z
we	self	plur nom	belong	1pl/(intransitive/3sg)-direct	direct
we	selves		belong	1 pl

we belong to the same family unit (rather wider than core family, though)

dat	ŋul	-ır	ʒgaŋ	-da	-jut
we	self	plur nom	belong	1pl/(intransitive/3sg)-direct	inverse
we	selves		belong	1 pl

we belong to the same clan

2. Non-object Reciprocal vs. Reflexive distinctions

There is an adverb ıbars, cognate to the -bara suffix. It can signify something along the line of 'in haphazard, random disarray' -

dat	ıbars	ban	-da
we	around	run	1pl/intransitive
we	around	are running

we are running around / we are running all over the place

It can also be used for transitive verbs to signify e.g. sending things all around, doing something in multiple places, etc. However, it can also signify reciprocality. Some verbs in Ŋʒädär have suppletive forms for different recipients, and with these, for instance, ıbars will signify reciprocality:

 ür karos ıbars kep'är-ür-z
'you give each other gifts'

(note: karos, "gift" is non-count!)
The same holds with other verbs of giving, but also goes with less semantically specific verbs, albeit there is some ambiguity:

sint ıbars vörvör-täs
'they speak over each other/they speak in all directions/they speak random stuff/they argue'
