Comment: "The free pronouns serve to express or co-index Actor (A) arguments. (...) [T]he bound pronouns are prefixed to nouns and verbs. Bound pronouns are divided into three formally distinct sets. Pronominal prefixes are polysemous. They combine with verbs to express the Undergoer (U) arguments and with nouns to express possessors." For an overview of the sets and their menings, see Kratochvíl (2007: 76--77). "The single participant of the intransitive verb may be realized as the A or U argument." (Kratochvíl 2007: 177), so that's why the S paradigms are filled with both the A and the O(/U) forms.
