The clearest examples can be found in Afroasiatic languages, as well as in some languages of California, e.g., Palestinian Arabic suxn ‘hot’, b-yusxun ‘it becomes hot’, saxxan ‘he heated (sth.) up’, sxuːne ‘fever’, and Sierra Miwok hallik-ihhɨʔ ‘he used to hunt’, halik-mehnɨhakt̪eʔ ‘I was hunting on
