object and is not at all comparable to the Basic English operator make. Constructions with facte and its material object do, however, cover the meaning of many Aryan verbs:
facte u texti | = weave (make a fabric) |
facte u domi | = build (make a house) |
From what has gone before it follows that the meaning we give the terms direct and indirect object depends on whether we are using a verboid literally (without an amplifier) or operatively (with a postposited amplifier). As used literally, we may summarise our use of the terms subject and object as in the table below. The particle a(d) always precedes the indirect object.
Verboid | Subject | Direct Object | Indirect Object (preceded by a(d)) |
acouste | hearer | stimulus | |
acte | performer | performance | victim |
balle | motive agent (sender) | what is moved | destination |
date | giver | what is given | recipient |
detecte | finder | what is found | |
dicte | speaker | what is said | audience |
esthe | person | | |
facte | maker | product | |
gene | receiver | acquisition | |
habe | possessor | what is possessed | |
kine | mover | | |
mote | motive agent (mover) | what is moved | destination |
perde | loser | what is lost | |
reacte | what reacts | stimulus | |
stimule | exciting agent | response | |
tene | keeper | what is kept | |
tracte | motive agent (remover) | what is removed | |
vise | seer | stimulus | |
Operative couplets as listed below do not take an indirect object preceded by a(d). The indirect object of the equivalent Aryan verb is a word preceded by pro (on behalf of), anti (against), or the empty particle de (with respect to). The following table, in which X is subject and Y object, summarizes operative constructions with amplifiers.
