Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is a straightforward combination of V{tqu}V, passive participle V{-ðaq}N, and N{-u}V, denoting 'Patient
is allowed to Vb (by someone=Agent
)'.
If the stem is divalent, it will reduce the valency.
If the stem is monovalent, then the valency is preserved, but with the former Actor
as Patient
of the relation.
