There is another option that is used when the subject
of the complement needs to be expressed. Instead of using di
and a pronoun, a reflexive pronoun is used. This is more
common than using a pronoun with di. Unlike the other two
options, here the enclitic is usually not used, especially
when the reflexive pronoun is immediately followed by the
adjective. This is because two enclitics on two successive
words often sound awkward.
It should be noted that the reflexive pronoun is not in
the object position of the higher clause. This is clearly
indicated by the intonational break between the verb and the
reflexive pronoun.

Recall from Chapter 2 (2.1.1) that reflexive pronouns
are also used as ordinary pronouns in Acehnese, for example,
Di droekuh hana ku-iak. which is the same as Di kee hana ku-
