passives in #-ana are often similar in meaning to those in #-ina, and are used simply as passives of verbs active transitive in #mi- and #man-. Often, however, passives in #-ina and #-ana are made from the same root, and used in different senses, thus: from #tàmpoka ('suddenly, unexpectedly') are formed #tampóh-ina 'being surprised', and #tampóh-ana 'having cold water added'; the passive in #a- is of very frequent occurrence. Its primary meaning is said to be that an object is placed in such and such a position...The most difficult use, however, to a learner is when it is made a correlative of the passive in #-ana...Many verb that govern two accusatives, one of an object to which something is done, and the other of the instrument, means, etc., with which the action is effected, make the former the nominative case of a passive in #-ana, and the latter of a passive in #a-... Thus in the sentence #manóso tsólika ázy àho 'I anoint it with oil', the body anointed would be made nominative case of the passive #hosór-ana ..., and the oil of the verb #a-hòsotra
