Reflexive paradigms in Khaling
Khaling, like other Kiranti languages, has a Reflexive / Middle suffix-si, the main function of which is to reduce the valence of verbs. The present paper describes the complex morphological alternations observed in the reflexive paradigms, and provides a detailed account of the various meanings of the -si derivation in Khaling.
Keywords: anti-causative, autobenefactive, reflexive, middle, Khaling, Kiranti, reciprocal, antipassive
