Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The original meaning of this stem is 'a blade of grass'. However, this meaning seems to mostly have been taken over by the derived stem {əvəgaq}N instead. A derived meaning is a type of hard ship biscuits, which instead seems to be the more common denotation by this stem nowadays.
