Note
A form that always reaches for an object, because every use of the verb is transitive: the job involves travel, never simply the job involves. With a person as the object it means drawing them in (the scandal involves two ministers). With a reflexive pronoun and with, it turns to relationships (she involves herself with him). The older meaning of enveloping or hiding survives only as an archaism.
