Is coded on the verb with the middle prefix ù-, a reflex of Proto Oceanic *paRi-. This prefix is rare in Xârâcùù (less rare in Thio than in Canala), and only affects a dozen of verbs, always conferring middle values such as: - sociative cuè "site", ù-cuè "assemble"; - grooming actions: cù "comb", ù-cù "comb one's hair"; - generic/habitual: da "eat", ù-da "bite (fish)"
