Alternation ‘Unsuffixed’ (Uncoded)

"Unsuffixed" refers to verb forms that are not suffixed with any of the valency markers. It is equivalent to "bare root". These free forms can appear without any morphological operation. Unsuffixed verbs are of two types, depending on the role of their subject: agentive and non-agentive. The subject of the former type is the agent of the predication, and that of the latter type is the patient or the experiencer.
