| Nov 9, 2016 at 16:33 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | The Oxford English Dicitonary says "behave oneself" is akin to (or maybe it even said derived from?) the "modern" German verb "sich behaben". How many centuries ago must a locution have been current for lexicographers not to call it "modern"? Currently "sich benehmen" is used. | |
| Nov 9, 2016 at 16:26 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | The devoted examples are the same: "devoted object to ind-object". Behave is slightly odd; with a reflexive object it functions like absent, avail etc; without, it functions as an intransitive verb. As a transitive verb, it must be reflexive. The use of the devoted example muddies the question, I think. | |
