I had to ask myself the same question for Tyl Sjok, which marks AGT
and PAT in the same way.  In English, you have passive voice for
this.

OTOH, Tyl Sjok can compound easily:

    (Someone) hit him + he fell
into
    (hit and fell) he.PAT.

To compound this in English, you use a different voice (possive) and
so would probably an active language do (if available).

Up to now, I did not introduce a voice system into Tyl Sjok, because I
keep that language maximally simple.

The question was for Daniel, of course. :-) (I did not read his post
since I rejoined after April 1st :-) )
