Intransitive verbs of Type B are composed of a verb core together 

 with an affix of either Century Class 100 or 200 occurring as a suflix 

 and followed by a thematic adjunct. An afl&x of Century Class 400 

 may follow the core and, in forms containing a member of Century 

 Class 100, a suffix of Century Class 600 may follow the thematic 

 adjunct. 



A complete set of paradigms of transitive verbs in all of their 

 possible inflections includes the following: 



Primary paradigms. — Transitive verbs in their simplest forms, 

 i.e., those which include only the three obligatory elements and which 

 have unexpanded thematic adjuncts, are members of one of the 

 primary paradigms. A transitive verb primary paradigm is composed 

 of seven or eight forms based on the same verb stem, all belonging 

 to the same mode, and each expressing a different pronominal 

 reference. Examples of these paradigms are given in Appendix 1. 

 The classification of verb stems on the basis of the specific aUomorphs 

 of Century Class 100 with which they occur in their primary paradigms 

 is dealt with under "Verb Classes." 



Forms with ^prefixes of Century Class 300. — Transitive verbs occurring 

 with the reflexive-reciprocal or the passive voice prefix take distinc- 

 tive sets of allomorphs of the pronominal prefixes. Furthermore, 

 the class division evident in the primary paradigms is lacking in these 

 forms; all transitive verbs take the same sets of aUomorphs. 



Verbs in the reflexive-reciprocal voice occur with the following set 

 of pronominal allomorphs: 



Verbs in the passive voice regularly take the plural subject suffix: 



sJ^-d^d-izuwa-nE (101J + 302A + stem+502A) / was paid 



An alternative translation of this verb would be they (certain unspec- 

 ified persons) paid me. This translation is consistent with the pres- 

 ence of the plural subject suffix and with the expansion of the thematic 

 adjunct in forms indicating dual or plural persons being acted upon.
