Comment:
The Korlai verb siti has an argument structure whereby the experiencer is coded as the object (pari 'me' in the above example), and what is being felt is coded as the subject (med 'fear' in the above example). Another example of this is pari sitin friw [me feel.PROG cold] 'I'm feeling cold' or 'I am cold'. See Example 81 and the related comments in the comment box for further discussion of this.
