Complex verb
Verb meaning: BRING [bring]
Comment: combination of hanį 'have' + deictic motion verb (=DMV); The meaning BRING can be expressed through the combination of the possessive verb hanį and any of the 12 DMVs, jii is used here just as an example. In this verbal complex he undergoer inflections only occur on hanį , whereas the actor inflections occur on the deictic motion verb as well as on hanį. All derivations (see alternations) only occur on hanį and never on the DMV.
