Line 154: Line 154:
Proto-Settameric had six verb types: transitive, detransitive (verbs similar to intransitive, but derived from transitive verbs, like ''*sinoonʼan'' "I look"), passive (intransitive verbs with only the object marker), impersonal (verbs without a specified person marker), middle (stative, reflexive or [[w:Deponent verb|deponent]] verbs) and [[w:Antipassive voice|antipassive]] verbs. Only some of these types were preserved in its daughter languages, many of which merged certain types into one and then created new ways to express information previously conveyed by them.
