A shared feature among ergative languages is that none are completely ergative in both morphology and syntax. In some facet of the language there is a split where the language no longer functions along ergative lines but follows a different system, often times nominative-accusative. Hurrian is no exception to the rule. While some theories have attempted to locate this split in ergativity, through a reexamination of the modal system clear evidence for it has now been identified.
