Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this stem is: 'be in a state of doing something'. The authors of [MFSJLK10] speculate it might be from a morpheme {*nʀa-}, although they do not elaborate. However, this could perhaps be +{na}V, followed by the inchoative {*ʀ-} hypothesised to be part of +{ŋ(ŋ)ur}V.
