A number of Gothic verbs that take accusative second arguments can alternate with second arguments in the partitive genitive (cf. Leiss 2007; Miller 2019: 124-125).The partitive genitive indicates partial affectedness, referring either to parts of specific entities or to an indefinite quantity of a non-specific mass entity.
