Tutelo verb 'go'

[Rankin, Robert L.]

That sounds very peculiar to me.  I suspect that what you're seeing is the disjunctive (i.e., independent) pronominal for the 1st person rather than the patient.  You may already have my active/stative comparative paper, but just in case, I'll attach a copy.  The last section is an addition on OVS that attempts to explain the pronominals.  Bottom line:  I don't think Tutelo uses stative subjects with "go".

Subject: Tutelo verb 'go'

Hi all,

It seems Tutelo's verb 'go' takes a patientive/object rather than active/subject pronoun prefix, wi- instead of wa-.  Does any other Siouan language do this?  (I can't compare with Biloxi since it lost this agent/patient distinction in pronouns.)  I'm particularly interested in this because two Lower Mississippi Valley languages, Atakapa and Chitimacha, also seem to take patientive/object instead of active/subject pronouns with the verb 'go.'  At first I thought this was strange and counterintuitive, but now I'm seeing it may be a more common phenomenon well beyond the Mississippi Valley.  Any thoughts?

Dave
