+==== Transitivizer ====
+The suffix ''-(V)sta'' is a transitivizer that derives transitive verbs from intransitive verbs. It introduces a direct object argument, allowing the verb to act upon an object.
+This suffix does not express causation, but instead marks the verb as transitive.
+The suffix attaches at the outermost position of the verbal complex.
+Examples:
+* ''mala'' → to speak
+* ''malasta'' → to speak to (someone)
+* ''hara'' → to go
+* ''harasta'' → to go toward or traverse (something)
+* ''malana'' → to speak to each other
+* ''malanasta'' → to engage others in mutual speech with an object
