Definition
a system in which some S roles are co-expressed with the A role, and other S roles are co-expressed with the P role. Example: in Lakhota, the index for the S role of 'come' is the same form as the index for the A role of 'help', but the index for the S role of 'be sick' is the same form as the index for the P role of 'help'. (Section 6.3.3)
