Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The meaning of this stem is 'Agent eats Patient'.
This is technically a ə-stem, but it does not have ə-contracted endings; it behaves as a normal vowel stem.
There may be a relation to {nəqə}N, 'meat', as suggested in [16].
Meanings and examples
The stem is agentive, so the meaning becomes 'Agent eats (something)' when the stem is used intransitively.
