Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The meaning of this stem is: 'Agent brings Patient'.
It appears to be agentive, so when used intransitively, the meaning becomes 'Agent=Actor brings (Patient@INS)'.
Kleinschmidt [SK71] does mention a HTR-form, but this does not appear in later dictionaries [CWSL58], [CBBJRPIKJR97], so the stem is likely not used with a HTR-morpheme nowadays.
