[Lingtyp] SAP object indexation?

[Scott Delancey]

Several Tibeto-Burman languages have a verbal index that indicates the presence of a 1st or 2nd person Object argument, for example |-č| in these Kinnaur examples:


(1)       Ram-əs     əŋ-u     taŋ-č-e-š

      Ram-erg   self-acc see-1/2O-pst-3hon

            ‘Ram saw me.’



(2)       gə        ki-nu                taŋ-č-o                      du-k

            I           you.hon-acc  see-1/2O-prog          be-1sg

            ‘I am watching you.’

I'm sure there are other languages around the world which do this, can anyone give me some examples?
