Definition
the morphosyntactic category in the secundative alignment system that exclusively expresses the T role. Example: in Huichol nee uuki uukari ne-wa-puuzeiyastɨa 'I showed the man to the girls', uuki 'man' is exclusively expressed by the absence of indexation on the verb form ne-wa-puuzeiyastɨa 'I showed them'. (Section 7.5.2)
