A coded intransitive alternation showing defocusing of both A and P, and a passive verb morphology, signaled by a form of the auxiliaries essere 'BE', venire 'COME', occurring in the unmarked 3rd person singular. A is deleted, optionally surfacing as a prepositional phrase headed by the da 'by', and P is defocused, realized by the (reflexive) morpheme si. The past participle of the lexical verb agrees with the underlying unexpressed argument (P), signaled by si (Cennamo 2010, 2014).
