Patient nouns are formed by adding agent suffixes to stative passive or to ''-am-'' passive - e.g. ''arkana'' "one who is seen (''m.'')", ''arkameeya'' "those who are seen". The two forms (i.e. stative vs ''-am-'' passive) have slightly different connotations. For example, ''arkana'' might refer to someone who is being seen at the moment, while ''arkama'' might refer to someone who is regularly seen. | Patient nouns are formed by adding agent suffixes to stative passive or to ''-am-'' passive - e.g. ''arkana'' "one who is seen (''m.'')", ''arkameeya'' "those who are seen".
