Gevey |
Gevey nouns are divided into two classes: 'causative' nouns, and 'applicative' nouns. The division is lexical, and unmarked.
» 'causative' nouns can act as the subject of any verb taking the active construction
» an 'applicative' noun cannot act as the subject of a verb taking the active construction - where an applicative verb is the subject of a clause, the verb must take either the incidental or stative construction. |
