I'm sorry, i'm not sure I know exactly what transitive is and i threw out my 
dictionary when i moved.  As for the example being ungrammitical, it really 
depends on the sentence it's used in.   Ex.  if you were to say, "I need to 
break bottles"  it would be ungrammitical to use jIbIvnIS.  if you were to 
say "I need to break the law"  then it would be appropriate to use jIbIvnIS.  
the word <bIv> is simply peticular to breaking rules and the sort.
