Tirelat: "Each other" is expressed by a comitative particle.
"Themselves" is expressed with a prefix on the verb.

su Żak kë Żil vyċimamin "Jack and Jill kissed each other" (inferential)
su  Żak  kë  Żil  vy-     ċima-mi-n
NOM Jack COM Jill 3pl.NOM-kiss-IP-PF
(Lit. "Jack kissed with Jill.")

NOM = nominative
COM = comitative
IP = inferential past
PF = perfective

su Żak žu Żil vysċimamin "Jack and Jill (each) kissed themselves"
su  Żak  žu  Żil  vy-     s-   ċima-mi-n
NOM Jack and Jill 3pl.NOM-REFL-kiss-IP-PF
REFL = reflexive
