Chuj verbs

The Chuj verbs of Alonso-Ovalle and Royer's examples, by root, with the proto-role entailments of their subjects. Man 'buy', yam 'grab', sik' 'select' and chi' 'eat' are transitive and wa' 'eat' and chanhalw 'dance' intransitive, each with an agent as its subject; nib' 'like', transitive with the derived transitive suffix -ej in ix-s-nib'-ej 'liked', has an experiencer as its subject, sentient but not volitional.
