Timucua has two applicatives. na- generally references an instrumental or locative object, while -si shows a benefactive or malefactive argument. The following example is nice because it shows a verb with both applicatives.
The first verb nihi 'die' has the na- applicative referencing the locative Cruzi, while the second verb ninachiacososibuonima 'when he redeemed us from them through...' has both applicatives.
