Unspecified actors for AI verbs #17

@aarppe

Description

@aarppe

[AEW notes] ... some options being given for the VAI unspecified actors. When I search for /nîmihitow/, the paradigms are currently giving these options:

nîmihitonâniwan
nîmihitoniwan

ê-nîmihitohk
ê-nîmihtonâniwahk
ê-nîmihitoniwahk

The ones I have marked in red are incorrect. I assume this comes from treating -(nâ)niwan / -(nâ)niwahk as if the -(nâ) part is always optional. It is not. It is morpho-phonologically/contextually conditioned; It is only absent for /â/ and /ê > â/ final stems. For all others, the full forms including the -must be used. I.e..

nipâ*niwan* and
mêtawâ*niwan*

... but ...

api*nâniwan*
tapasî*nâniwan*
nikamo*nâniwan*
pasikô*nâniwan*

This will need to be cleaned up in the paradigms if this is pervasive rather than an odd occurrence in the/nîmihito-/paradigm.
