The name isn't important, really, it is just a label; what is important is that you explain how it works and under what conditions. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Hope this helps. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Randy<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 23 Jul 2017, at 12:18 AM, Toby A <<a href="mailto:toby_anderson@sil.org">toby_anderson@sil.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>does anyone know how to gloss a transitivity increaser?
