‘go with him!’<br />

Examples 86-90 <strong>of</strong> transitive verbs derived with the comitative show that both the secondary<br />

‘subject’ <strong>and</strong> the base object are marked on the verb with object affixes. No formal means exists<br />

to distinguish the secondary ‘subject’ from the base object. Thus example 68 could be interpreted<br />

as ‘he went to see her with me’ or ‘he went to see me with her’; context is used to disambiguate<br />

the sentence. In all examples below, at least one <strong>of</strong> the objects is third person <strong>and</strong> therefore zeromarked.<br />

Unfortunately the database is lacking examples in which both objects refer to speech act<br />

participants (it is possible that these are disallowed; see §4.8.2.1). In example 69, the third person<br />

object is marked by the dative, but this seems to be an option whenever a causativized positional<br />

is found, as will be discussed in §5.4.2.2.<br />
