Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to Kleinschmidt [SK71], the meaning of this stem is 'Agent rubs on Patient, back and forth'. The stem is agentive, so if used intransitively, the meaning remains active: 'Agent=Actor rubs (on Patient@INS)'. This could be used to denote sanding down a piece of wood, or playing on a fiddle, but also someone grinding one stone against another (as part of the process of becoming a shaman).

Inflection pattern:

Stem type: q-stem
Inflection sandhi: Default/none


Meanings and examples
