Alternation ‘Allative alternation’ (Uncoded)

Destination marked with allative rather than dative; number of arguments and indexing stays unchanged, and there is no morphological marking on the verb in the form of diathetic prefix alternations. Semantically the allative stresses that the transferred object reaches its recipient (destination) under the supervision of the subject, whereas the dative allows for the possibility that the transferred object was merely left for the recipient to collect later. This alternation is available with two types of transfer verb: those in which the recipient is the undergoer, and those in which the theme is undergoer.
