Alternation ‘Middle’ (Coded)

Simple alternation between middle ambifixing verb and transitive ambifixing verb, without diathetic affix. Coded by; (a) substituing the middle prefix n-/k-/g- for the pronominal undergoer prefix; (b) dropping the erstwhile A argument, and treating the other core argument as an S(A), i.e. represented by a core NP in the absolutive and indexed by the Actor prefix
