A V-in P; The applicative marker serves a number of functions in the language. Most broadly, it serves to highlight or focus a non-A/S (agent, actor, experiencer) argument. In some cases, it acts to licence a transitive object, as in ex. 26 where the basic form of the verb is intranstive 'closed', and the form with the applicative yields the transitive 'close/cover s.t.'
