When this suffix is used, the prefix set indicating 'no object' must also be used: {jIqIp'egh} I hit myself, {bIqIp'egh} you hit yourself, {qIp'egh} he/she hits himself/herself. It is also possible to use this suffix with imperative verbs. As with nonimperatives, the prefix indicating "no object" must be used: {yIja''egh} tell yourself! {peja''egh} tell yourselves!"
