Vivi is intransitive, so it never takes a direct object: you live, full stop. The accusative still shows up beside it for a stretch of time, as in longan tempon, where the -n marks duration rather than an object. The root viv- also gives vivo (life) and viva (alive), so one page unlocks a small family.
