Datapoint Pidgin Hawaiian/Reciprocal constructions

Reciprocals are not known to use the special kino 'body' form attested in the case of reflexives, but they are formally identical in the case of reflexives that simply use the ordinary pronoun; there are also reciprocal sentences without pronominal subjects that use 'iconic' reciprocals instead.
