Because the whole point of the official language of the list is that it's not
used :)) .

Well, that's what personal suffixes are, in French at least ;)) .

But nowhere in the book of linguistic laws it is said that reflexive pronouns
can only be used as objects. Since a reflexive pronoun basically means "subject
and object identical" and that in the case of Koni' all persons have a
different reflexive pronoun, using it as subject to mean that the object is
identical is nothing impossible, and would fit nicely in the pattern of
suffixed personal pronouns :) .
