<DIV> for usages of "set" in English..."can" also be looked up. It's a matter</DIV>
<DIV>of the animacy or inanimacy of the sustantive in Cheyenne, no...in</DIV>
<DIV>English this translates (for meaning) to the nature of the direct object,</DIV>
<DIV>which has no bearing.</DIV>
<DIV> Perhaps the verb, "stand"? </DIV>

We do have a 'set' but it<BR>would be for transitive stems.
