-etn. This suffix indicates that an indefinite person, unknown to 

 the speaker, is the subject of an action. It is always added to stems 

 expressing transitive ideas, or to stems that have already been verbal-

 pronominal objects of actions performed by an indefinite subject are 

 expressed by prefixing the personal pronouns (see § 18) to the verb.
