§ 61. INTRANSITIVES, CLASS II 



Most verbs of Class II intransitives, unlike those that are most 

 typical of Class I, are derived from transitives, the majority of 

 examples falling under the heads of non-agentives in -x-, reflexives 

 in -gwi-, positionals in -I*-, and verbs with intransitivizing -p'- either 

 in all their tense-modes or in all but the aorist (see § 42, 1). Besides 

 these main groups there are a straggling number of not easily clas- 

 sified verbs that also show the peculiarities of the class ; such are : 



sene'sanfe' Iwhooip (110.20; 180.15) 

 wife' I go about (90.1; 92.29; 122.23) 

 licfmt'e' I rest (48.11; 79.2,4; 102.1) 

 MHi'nfe' I am tired (48.4, 11; 102.1, 8; 120.11) 



In a rough way the main characteristic of Class II intransitives, as 

 far as signification is concerned, is that they denote conditions and 

 processes, while Class I intransitives are in great part verbs of action. 

 Following is the scheme of subjective pronominal endings character- 

 istic of Class II : 



In comparing these endings with those of Class I intransitives, it is 

 seen that the characteristic peculiarities of Class II intransitives 

 are: the -am of the second person singular aorist and future im- 

 perative {-faml =-t' +-am], -ga'm [ ? =-^fc' -f-am]) ; the -a- between the 

 -f- and the -p'- {-h-) in the second person plural aorist and future; 

 the lack of a catch in the third person aorist ; the ending -t'd"^ of the 

 third person future ; and the presence of a -p'- (-6-) in the first person 

 plural aorist and future and in the inferential, present imperative, and 

 future imperative forms. The last feature is, however, absent in the 

 non-agentive -x- verbs and in the future of reflexives. The labial in
