Demuan reflectives and reciprocals are done with pronouns.

binde/bender is reflective, and subinde/subender is reciprocal. yes, these
words are very closely related. the second item in each pair is used with
plural subjects.

wing motex binde kot    He is holding his (own) cat.
wing motex winde kot    He is holding his (someone else's) cat.
swing motex binder kot  They are holding their (own) cats.
swing motex subinder kot they are holding each other's cats.

wing motex binde would mean he is holding himself - obvious nonsense, but
teh analogy would hold for verbs where that makes sense.
