Thread:User talk:Fenakhay/On Distinguishing Middle-Voice Meanings from Intransitive Ones/reply (2)

Oh yes! I remember the "reciprocal" label now! I actually described the middle-voice verbs in Arabic as "reciprocal" without remembering that there was a label called just that! Distinguishing reciprocal senses from other intransitive verbs was why I adopted the "middle" label as an experiment, so I think I'll start working with the "reciprocal" label from now on since I recall that it is already used in a few entries. As for intransitive verbs and prepositions, I personally reserve the "transitive" label for syntactically transitive verbs. When the intransitive verb is commonly followed by a specific preposition, I simply mention it after the "intransitive" label.
