pc already gave an example. To expand:

ko'a ckaji lo ka ce'u ri catra
ko'a has the property of killing herself.

ko'a ko'e ckini lo ka ce'u ce'u catra
ko'a is related to ko'e by the relationship ... kills ...

Presumably the x1 of ckini fills the first place of the
relationship and the x2 fills the second place.

We don't have a gismu for 3-adic ka's the way we have
{ckaji} and {ckini} for 1 and 2-adic. We probably should
have at least a lujvo for an n-adic terckini.

le so'i prenu cu simxu lo ka ce'u ce'u catlu
The many people were looking at one another.

Each of them looks and is looked at by some of them.
In order to do something "mutually", you need two places in the
relationship.
