It's often overlooked that each section in TKD 4.2.X describes just
who or what is affected by each type of suffix. For example, type 2
describes "how much choice the subject has", while type 6 show "how
sure the speaker is". Type 7 explicitly says the suffix is about "the
action" of the verb.
{So'wI' chu'lu'ta'} is in TKD, and has an indefinite subject.
