Note
The y of unify turns to ies before the present-tense -s, the same change as in carries and tries. Both of the verb's uses survive in this form. The transitive one takes an object, as in a shared language unifies the communities. The intransitive one has the subject itself becoming one, as in the party unifies behind its candidate. Only the intransitive use can stand without an object.
