Experiencer
The experiencer of an event is most commonly marked morphologically by a passive form of a verb or by a so-called ‘object case form’ (principally accusative). Experiencers may also be marked lexically in two principal ways: (1) by certain prepositions such as ἐν, ἐπί, πρός, εἰς, μετά, and (2) by a number of event words (usually verbs), some of which may have lost most of their so-called literal meaning and thus serve primarily as markers of case and a number which serve not only to mark case but also contribute certain supplementary features of meaning.
