ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses verbalisations with the suffix -ec-e, a pattern that produces both parasynthetic and prefix-less formations coming from adjectives and nouns. It is argued that -ec-e is special in that as a suffix it spells out a verbal Path head and a Result head. The presence of Path explains that verbs derived with this suffix characteristically have a gradual change component or a transference component, and the presence of Res explains that there are pairs of verbs with the same meaning, one being parasynthetic and one without any prefix, that have the same grammatical behaviour, depending on whether the result component is spelled out by the verbaliser, with Res, or by the prefix, with PredP.
