In the transitives group also, two types of transitives are identified, inherent transitives and derived transitives. The inherent transitive verb stems do not have an overt transitive suffix. The corresponding intransitive verb for this transitive verb is also not present in the language. The derived transitive verb stem will have an overt transitive marker, and also have a corresponding intransitive verb. |
| |
Some of the derived transitive verbs take the past tense marker of their corresponding intransitive verb. Some others take any one of the other three past tense markers. Verbs of both these categories are discussed below. |
