Although keep in mind that study seems to be classifying verbal person
agreement *only* as accusative, ergative etc. As I said, there are some
languages which have ergative case systems (or ergative marking for some
arguments) but accusative agreement, but under that study I think they
would be classified solely as accusative since the study was one of
verbal person agreement. Further categories in the table based on the
alignment of the case system (if there is one) would have been helpful.
