2 The -kan row is either causative or applicative. With transitive roots it mostly has applicative meaning.
Some of these forms do not normally exist or are rarely used in standard Indonesian. Some forms may also change meaning.

The form mengamuk is a reflexive, so it means either "to self-involve in a rage" or "to self-run amok".
