Reflex[obj]: reflexive as the object
A Yupik verb may be reflexive and refer to the subject of its main clause as its object.
Yes: it is reflexive
Note that there is no No value. If a verb is not reflexive, the
Reflex[obj] feature will just not be mentioned in the FEAT
column. (Which means that empty value has the No meaning.)
