The language exhibits verbal person marking which agrees with either the subject/agent or object/patient of the clause, but not both. Which argument it agrees with is often dependant on a hierarchy such as the Person Hierarchy of Nocte, where 1 person > 2 person > 3 person. The verb agrees with the agent or patient, depending on which is higher in the hierarchy. If the patient is higher, it occurs with the <b>Inverse Marker</b> (Gloss = <b>INV</b>) <i>h</i>.<br><br> An example is the Nocte sentence <i>ate-ma nga-nagn he(i)tho-<b>h-ang</b></i>, ‘he-ERG I-ACC teach-<b>INV-1sg.P</b> for ‘He will teach me,’ where the agreement marker <i>-ang</i> agrees with the 1 person patient since the agent is 3 person, inducing the Inverse marker <i>h</i> (Siewierska 2008). 
<br><br><b>Note:</b> Languages which are marked ‘yes’ for this property should be marked <b>N/A</b> for <i>Person Marking – Verbal (Object/Patient)</i> and <i> Person Marking – Verbal (Subject/Agent)</i>.
