It seems the conjugate_verbs shed more light…

[ ConjugateVerb92 fn vp t modal_to;
    switch (fn) {
        1:
            print "carry";
            ;
        2:
            print "carried";
            ;
        3:
            print "carrying";
[...]
        CV_MEANING:
            return Rel_Record12;
            ;

[ ConjugateVerb101 fn vp t modal_to;
    switch (fn) {
        1:
            print "lade";
            ;
        2:
            print "laden";
            ;
        3:
            print "lading";
[...]
        CV_MEANING:
            return Rel_Record18;

Array Rel_Record12 --> [ 0; 101515264; RELATION_TY; MAX_POSITIVE_NUMBER; NULL; NULL; "carrying relation"; abilities_U10; 0; DK9_relation_of_people_to_th; call\
_U16; "carries"; ];

Array Rel_Record18 --> [ 0; 101515264; RELATION_TY; MAX_POSITIVE_NUMBER; NULL; NULL; " relation"; abilities_U16; 0; DK10_relation_of_things_to_pe; call_U22; "\
is-carried-by"; ];

so it does get its own rel_record, but that rel_record doesn’t have a name. That’s probably a bug; I think it’d be ideal for it to be “reversed carrying relation”. (So it still wouldn’t show up as meaning the carrying relation, but you would be able to tell the difference between a verb that means R and one that means reversed R.)
