The applicative promotes an oblique object of a verb to the direct object position (for example, ''thrāpâi'' 'fight (a battle)' > ''lōthrāpâi'' 'fight (someone)'), and downgrades the core object argument to an oblique argument. An applicative prefix is used to qualify the relationship of the new object to the base verb. In the passive, the applicative finds much syntactic utility in constructing impersonal statements about an oblique object. | |||
