i feel like Jennifer so i have 2 classes of verbs. verbs based on=20
intransitive states and verbs based on transitive states or actions. how is=20
that kind of system called ? and Jennifer, could you please develop your own=20
design ?
intransitive based :
me-NOM rise =3D me rise-ACT =3D i rise
me-ERG rise =3D me rise-FAC =3D i raise
transitive based :
me-NOM cut =3D me cut-ACT =3D i cut
it-ACC cut =3D it cut-PAS =3D it is cut
examples :
rise me-NOM =3D me rise-ACT =3D i rise
me rise-FAC it-NOM =3D i raise it
it rise-ACT me-ERG =3D it is raised by me
