expl:pv: reflexive clitic with an inherently reflexive verb
Reflexive pronouns (see the feature cs-feat/Reflex) usually replace objects of verbs. However, some verbs are inherently reflexive, i.e. the verb always occurs with a reflexive prounoun, and the pronoun cannot be replaced by a non-reflexive pronoun.
With these verbs, the reflexive pronoun is attached as expl:pv instead of obj.
(Note that the expl relation is first used for this purpose in the UD release 1.2,
and it is further subtyped as expl:pv since UD 2.0,
to increase parallelism with other languages. In the previous releases this usage of
reflexive se/si was labeled compound:reflex.)
