7.13 Class C conjugation, the mutual action verbs

Verbs of class C refer to an action which two or more agents engage in

mutually. Verbs in this class usually have a long penult and shift the

stress to the penult if the final syllable of the unaffixed root is

stressed. Verbs of this class occur with the durative prefixes, mag-1,

(nag-, etc.), meaning 5, with the potential prefix magka-1 (nagka-),

and with the prefix makig- (nakig-). The entry for sábut ‘come to an

understanding’ (under sabut (←)) illustrates a verb of class C

conjugation.
