Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The basic meaning of this stem is 'Actor gets up' or 'raises up', i.e. from a position of lying flat. Usually, it is used of a person getting up / getting out of bed, but it could also be used of e.g. a person in a kayak, who gets up after having capsized.

Schultz-Lorentzen [CWSL58], and later Oqaatsit [CBBJRPIKJR97] also give a transitive usage: 'Agent turns the other side of Patient up', or 'turns Patient over'. This could e.g. be used for turning a card over, that was lying face-down.
