Excited to be part of the launch of the Monash Assistive Technology and Society Centre on Tuesday! We partner with folks with disabilities to make tech a tool of inclusion, not exclusion. You can see more of what we do in the article below:

I would think of this more in terms of reciprocation than reversal. So many languages only allow a subset of verbs to enter the reciprocal construction/take reciprocal morphology, but others are super flexible. Transitivity is a typical criterion for reciprocalisation, but not necessarily/only
