STEDT Etymon #2351
6.0 Verbs of Motion, of Manipulation, and of Production > 6.16 Holding
#2351 PTB *ku TAKE UP / LIFT / PROP UP |
This root was first set up in a rather confusing footnote (n.281) in STC:98-99. Contra this note, this etymon is not to be identified with a similar root #2365 PTB *r‑kəw ⪤ *hu STEAL, or with a separate WB morpheme khû ‘pluck, gather’.
Certain forms (Magar, Bahing) carry a suffixal morpheme, ‑t or ‑s, with a causative/applicative meaning.
