| Transitivity: This concept is about the property of relations to be continuable in the sense that if a is in relation to b and b is in relation to c, then a is also in the same relation to c. Transitivity in sets means that an element of a subset is also an element of the set containing this subset or a subset M1 of a subset M2 is also a subset of the set M3 containing M2._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Peter Gärdenfors on Transitivity - Dictionary of Arguments
I 250 Transitivity/Keenan/Gärdenfors: Keenan (1984, p. 203)(1): notes that many transitive verbs require special types of patiens (patiens, objects), e.g. "to peel" requires objects with a special surface, "spill" requires liquids or relatively fine granules. In contrast, there are no verbs that limit the nature of the agents in a similar way. 1. Keenan, E. J. (1984). Semantic correlates of the ergative/absolutive distinction.
