> *Dear colleagues,*
>
> Are you aware of *COME-passives* in any of the world’s languages? In
> Kurmanji, a North-West Iranian language, the passive voice is formed using
> the verb *hatin* (‘to come’), which is fully conjugated for all TAM
> forms, followed by the infinitive. This construction appears to be *diachronically
> young*, because Kurmanji has a split ergative alignment. Its preterit
> base (from which the infinitive seems to be formed secondarily) is a reflex
> of the *PIU resultative participle in -ta*, and the choice between the
> ergative and the absolutive depends entirely on the inherent transitivity
> of the verb.
