Would that be the same kind of 'ergativity' - or rather
'non-accusativity' - as in e.g. Italian verbs of movement?

Or is it rather like the very cool thing in Indo-Aryan
that BP told us about?

The book was rather expensive and non-reviewed, so it's hard
to know if it's worth the read. Did you read it?

So, is - or have there been - any kind of ergativity in Swedish? :)
