The mirror is not needed at all. You could give the same examples
with "Move (some part of) yourself into your own line of sight!" vs
"Change your line of sight such as to view yourself!".

What is this supposed to mean? "scrape yourself off something"?
Anyways, (1a) "Make yourself be scraped off (by yourself)!"
(maybe you have to "scrape off" someone, but are allowed to choose
whether it's yourself or someone else?[0])
vs. (1b) "Scrape yourself off" vs. (1a) .ije (1b)

> (2) {do catra ko} vs {ko catra do} vs {ko catra ko}

Same thing:
(2a) "Make yourself be the one killed by yourself"
vs (2b) "Kill yourself" vs (2a) .ije (2b)
In (2a) the action you should take is to die.
in (2b) it's to kill.
