Applicative 3 C

Description

Root serialization with tu- 'get, take' forms a new verb stem. The range of possible semantic roles of the applied object is wide (as are the syntactic effects: sometimes no discernible yield is found, and sometimes the operation detransitivizes the predicate); high-frequency motion verbs incorporate a goal to the case frame with this process.
