Reflexive verbs are marked by V'si or Vlsi, V meaning vowel. The orginal form can be hypothesized as -Vlsi but this sometimes changes to -V'si depending on the verb type.

Below the -l- is maintained in the reflexive.

  1. gesisp-alsi-n   
    wash-REFLX-2sg  
    'you wash yourself'

This example shows vowel lengthening before the reflexive maker -si

  1. nemi-'si-t     
    see-REFLX-3sg  
    'you wash yourself'
