Alternation ‘Undetermined object’ (Uncoded)

For many verbs it is necessary to include a noun object with the verb, even if the object of the verb is unspecified. The object could be jita 'something' for things or yee 'people' for humans. The sense of the verb is less specific. It is marked as uncoded due to the fact that the object is not expressed within the verb (cf. Intransitivizer incorporation: ji'i).
