Transitive verbs show three different modes of [[w:Morphosyntactic alignment|morphosyntactic alignment]], depending on the arguments present. When the subject of a transitive verb is the first or second person, the verb uses [[w:Nominative–accusative_language|nominative agreement]]. The verb agrees with the subject in person and number, and the object is in the accusative case. When the object is the first or second person, the verb displays [[w:Ergative-absolutive language|ergative agreement]]. Here, the subject is in the ablative case, which doubles as an [[w:Ergative case|ergative case]], and the verb agrees with the person and number of the object. In both of these cases, first and second person pronouns are unnecessary and are dropped. If neither argument for a verb is the second or first person, then Tevrés shows a type of [[w:Split ergativity|split-ergativity]], where the subject of the verb is in the nominative case and the object in the accusative, whilst the verb agrees with the absolutive argument. | |||
It should be noted that the first person is higher in the hierarchy than the second person, so if the first person and second person are both present, the verb will agree with the first person. | |||
