Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents an extensive discussion on the functions of the-êysuffix in Hyow, a Southeastern Kuki-Chin (henceforth, KC) language spoken by approximately four thousand people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. The attested use of the-êysuffix in Hyow is of interest because of its use in two opposite syntactic structures. Although the straightforward function of the-êysuffix resembles that of middle voice, its other use in prototypical transitive clauses makes it difficult to assign a category to the suffix in question. This paper deals with this anomaly in the functional domains of the-êysuffix in Hyow with empirical data and makes suggestions of a category to be assigned to this suffix.
