VERB CLASSES 



The primary division in verbs is between transitive and intransitive 

 verbs. Transitive verbs occur with a full set of pronominal affixes 

 (except Decade Class 180 and, in some cases, Decade Class 130) 

 while most intransitive verbs occur with only those of Decade Classes 

 100, 110, and 120. Some intransitive verbs occur with affixes of 

 Decade Class 140; others occur with Decade Class 180; but none 

 occur with Decade Classes 130, 150, or 160. Certain verbs which 

 are intransitive according to this inflectional definition must be trans- 

 lated by an English transitive expression with a third person object: 



s^utA / killed it 



The transitive-intransitive dichotomy is thus based on structural and 

 not semantic criteria. 



TRANSITIVE VERBS 



Transitive verb stems are classified on the basis of their occurrence 

 with specific allomorphs of inflectional affixes. The most important 

 such classification is based on allomorphs of the pronominal prefixes. 

 While the number of verb classes is considerable, this number is only 

 a small fraction of what theoretically could result from ail possible 

 combinations of the many allomorphs of inflectional afiixes. There 

 are rather strict limitations on the freedom of distribution of specific 

 allomorphs. Groups of allomorphs rather than individual allomorphs 

 may be viewed as independent units in an examination of the combi- 

 nations which may constitute a complete verb paradigm. 



Allomorphs of Century Class 100 occurring with transitive verbs 

 may be arranged in two sets of three partial paradigms. These are 

 designated la, 2a, 3a, lb, 2b, and 3b (chart 5). Each allomorph is 

 listed by its phonemic shape and its reference number. In general,
