	Reflexive verb - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In grammar, a reflexive verb is a verb whose semantic agent and patient (typically represented syntactically by the subject and the direct object) are the same.
		In Spanish, for example, the particle se is cliticized to the verb (lavarse "to wash oneself"), while in Romanian, the particle precedes the verb (a se spăla "to wash oneself").
		Full reflexive pronouns or pronominal phrases are added for emphasis or to avoid ambiguity: Yo me cuido a mí mismo "I take care of myself" (sí is the emphatic reflexive, mismo means "same", in the same of "one's own (self)").

	8.3 - Personal Pronouns In Reflexive Form
		For many verbs, reflexive may be used to turn the non-reflexive form (which sounds more correct and formal) into a more colloquial or emphatic expression.
		In most reflexive forms, the short personal pronoun already acts as an object (although it is considered as an indivisible part of the verb): for this reason the verb may no longer take a further different object.
		Since intransitive verbs cannot have a direct object, it is not possible to mistake an intransitive verb for a reflexive form (in which the subject and the object are the same person).

		Last but not least, there is another group of reflexive verbs in Modern Lithuanian which cannot be confused because both their reflexive and non-reflexive forms have the same meaning.
