Reciprocal pronoun
A reciprocal pronoun is a pronoun that indicates a reciprocal relationship. A reciprocal pronoun can be used for one of the participants of a reciprocal construction, i.e. a clause in which two participants are in a mutual relationship. The reciprocal pronouns of English are one another and each other, and they form the category of anaphors along with reflexive pronouns (myself, yourselves, themselves, etc.).

Reciprocal pronoun
The reciprocal pronouns in English are one another and each other. Together with the reflexive pronouns — myself, yourself, ourselves, yourselves, and others — they are classified as anaphors. Reciprocity is the broader concept, of which reflexivity is a special case. Reciprocity has A relating to B and B relating in exactly the same way to A. Reflexivity is the concept of A reciprocating with itself. ⁕Reciprocal: A↔B = A→B and A←B = A→B and B→A ⁕Reflexive: A↔A = A→A and A←A = A→A and A→A = simply A→A Examples: ⁕Reciprocal: They all said "Hello" to one another. ⁕Reflexive: All alone, he had no friends but himself. The classical Greek reciprocal pronoun was allēlōn. From this stems the word parallel: para allēlois "beside each other".
