<\/td>\r\n<\/td>\r\nThe AI verbs in the above examples have implicit goals. For \u148b\u14a5\u1511\u1473\u1491\u1424<\/span> chimishikaachaau<\/span>, the implicit meaning is that something<\/strong> is being cut. For \u1403\u144e\u1511\u1426\u140a\u14ab<\/span>\u1491\u1424<\/span> itishihamaachaau<\/span>, the implicit meaning is that the sending is to someone<\/strong>. They mean that something or someone, already expressed by the verb, is affected by what someone is doing. These verbs usually end in -chaau, -hiiwaau<\/span>. Such verbs are just labeled VAI in the dictionnary.<\/p>\r\n The VAI implicit goals cannot be expressed again by an overt noun. One CANNOT say: *\u148b\u14a5\u1511\u1473\u1491\u1424 \u1427\u1403\u152e\u14ef\u152b<\/span> *chimishikaachaau wiyaasiyuu<\/span> to mean: ‘she cuts the meat’, nor *\u140a\u1427\u140b\u1528\u1424\u1426 \u1403\u144e\u1511\u1426\u140a\u14ab\u1491\u1424<\/span> *awaayiuh itishihamaachaau<\/span> to mean: ‘she sends it to someone.’ To say such things, one has to use regular VTI verbs like: \u148b\u14a5\u1511\u14bb \u140e\u152e\u14ef\u152b<\/span> chimishim wiyaasiyuu<\/span> ‘she cuts the meat’ or benefactive verbs like \u1403\u144e\u1511\u1426\u140a\u14a7\u1427\u140b\u1424 \u140a\u1427\u140b\u1528\u1424\u1426<\/span> itishihamuwaau awaayiuh<\/span> ‘she is sending it to someone.’<\/p>\r\n Other nouns can sometimes be used with these verbs (often as an instrument), but not as their implicit goal.<\/p>\r\n Many such VAI verbs have a part in them that already clearly expresses the goal. So this goal does not need to be expressed again. For example the verb \u140b\u1513\u146d\u14c2\u1426\u1491\u1424 <\/span>aashukinihchaau<\/span> ‘she makes a bridge’ , from the word \u140b\u1513\u146d\u14d0<\/span> aashukin<\/span> ‘bridge’. One can say the above or use a noun and a VAI+O verb \u140b\u1513\u146d\u14c2\u1528\u1424 \u1405\u1511\u1426\u1456\u1424<\/span> aashukiniyiu ushihtaau <\/span>‘she makes a bridge’ .<\/p>\r\n\u14a6\u14c2\u1427\u140b\u148b\u1426\u1404\u1427\u140b\u1424<\/td>\r\n <\/td>\r\nmiiniwaachihiiwaau<\/td>\r\n she heals (people)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr> \u148b\u1505\u144e\u14a5\u1426\u1404\u1427\u140b\u1424<\/td>\r\n <\/td>\r\nchistimihiiwaau<\/td>\r\n she causes misery (to someone)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> \u14a8\u1426\u146f\u14ab\u14c2\u1528\u1424 \u148b\u14a5\u1511\u1473\u1491\u1424<\/td>\r\n <\/td>\r\nmuuhkumaaniyiu chimishikaachaau<\/td>\r\n She cuts (something) off with a knife<\/td>\r\n<\/tr> \u14a5\u14ef\u14c2\u1426\u1404\u146d\u14c2\u1528\u1424 \u1403\u144e\u1511\u1426\u140a\u14ab\u1491\u1424<\/td>\r\n <\/td>\r\nmisinihiikiniyiu itishihamaachaau<\/td>\r\n She sends the letter (to someone)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Other examples:<\/h5>\r\n
