Kalenjin kee(y) is typically treated as an arity-reducing verbal suffix with reflexive (and reciprocal) meaning. However, we show that it is actually a separate word with a typologically unusual combination of two functions: it can be the object of a verb or preposition (contributing an arity-reducing ‘middle’ meaning that is broader than just reflexive and reciprocal) or it can modify pronouns (with an intensifying meaning).
