Alternation ‘Locative applicative I (inessive) (+ho)’ (Coded)

The locative applicative ho- is often used as a valency-increasing operation. When added to the verb it opens up an undergoer slot for a location-like argument. (e.g. waxų 'pour sth.' --> howaxų 'pour sth. in(to) somewhere'); In cases where verbs already possess a slot for a locational argument the meaning of this location is merely changed and the valency of the verb not increased (e.g. cii 'live somewhere' --> hoci 'live in somewhere').
