dechticaetiative

Etymology
Dubious. Etymologically, the first morpheme of the term may come from ; the second is obscure, but it is remotely possible it derives from. The term was first introduced by Dr. Edward L. Blansitt, Jr. A more current term with the same signification is secundative.

Adjective

 * 1)  In which the indirect objects of ditransitive verbs are treated like the direct objects of monotransitive verbs.
 * Most dechticaetiative languages are found in Africa.

Usage notes

 * Ditransitive verbs have two arguments other than the subject: a patient that undergoes the action and a recipient or beneficiary that receives the patient. In a dechticaetiative language, the recipient of a ditransitive verb is treated in the same way as the single object of a monotransitive verb, and this syntactic category is called primary object. The patient of a ditransitive verb is treated separately and called secondary object.
