<\/td>\r\n<\/td>\r\nThe AI verbs in the above examples have implicit goals. For \u148b\u14a5\u1511\u1473\u1489\u1424<\/span> chimishikaacheu<\/span>, the implicit meaning is that something<\/strong> is being cut. For \u1403\u144e\u1515\u1426\u140a\u14ab\u1489\u1424<\/span> itishahamaacheu<\/span>, the implicit meaning is that the sending is to someone<\/strong>. They mean that something or someone is affected by what someone is doing, but this thing or person is already expressed by the verb. These verbs usually end in -cheu<\/span>, or -hiiweu<\/span>. Such verbs are just labeled VAI in the dictionary.<\/p>\r\n The VAI implicit goals cannot be expressed again by an overt noun. One CANNOT say: *\u148b\u14a5\u1511\u1473\u1489\u1424 \u1427\u1403\u152e\u14ef\u152b<\/span> *chimishikaacheu wiyaasiyuu<\/span> to mean: ‘she cuts the meat’, nor *\u140a\u1427\u1401\u152b\u1426 \u1403\u144e\u1511\u1426\u140a\u14ab\u1489\u1424<\/span> *aweyuuh itishihamaacheu<\/span> to mean: ‘she sends it to someone.’ To say such things, one has to use regular VTI verbs like: \u148b\u14a5\u1515\u14bb \u1427\u1403\u152e\u14ef\u152b<\/span> chimisham wiyaasiyuu<\/span> ‘she cuts the meat’ or benefactive verbs like: \u1403\u144e\u1515\u1426\u140a\u14a7\u1427\u1401\u1424 \u140a\u1427\u1401\u152b\u1426<\/span> itishahamuweu aweyuuh<\/span> ‘she is sending it to someone.’<\/p>\r\n Other nouns can sometimes be added to these verbs (often an instrument), but not nouns for their implicit goal.<\/p>\r\n Many VAI verbs have a part in them that already clearly expresses the goal.
