Passivizer
A passivizer is a verb or suffix that helps us access non-subjects of other verbs:
| se | ___ is a result/product of performing ___ (event) |
|---|---|
| luoı | ___ is a target/goal/focus/direction of action ___ (event). |
| te | ___ has been ___-ed (binary relation). |
| kıu | ___ is ___-able (binary relation). |
These are useful both in serials (te hıao “injure-ed”) or compound words (hıaote “injured”).
Compare to mu, which is purely syntactic:
| mu | ___ has something in binary relation ___ with it; ___ has ___ in binary relation ___ with it. |
|---|
The author of Toaq prefers “semantic” passivizers to mu.
