@Lingo Bingo Dingo: Is this an ergative verb, as sell is? This webpage gives the following example sentence: "Tickets België-Nederland verkopen als zoete broodjes" (i.e. "sell like hot cakes"). PUC10:19, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it somewhat is. The intransitive use does feel more marked to me so it might best be a separate definition. It also feels borderline weird to use it without an adverb. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 19:49, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
