Syntactic function vad.VtoN
a verb which precedes and modifies a transitive verb with its object
These words have this in common that they modify the verb phrase they precede by quantifying into the object. In principle, we have a grammatical relation between non-contiguous elements here. Many of the words in this category are specialised on object quantification, others - like 皆 - are only occasionally found in this function and normally quantify the subject.
