Protoform: *=iq:Vn- / *q:in-
Meaning: to break, be broken
Chadakolob: =iqn-
Andian language: =iq:in-
Chamalal: =aq:n-
Tindi: q:in-
Karata: q:in- (Tok.)
Comments: A typical alternation of stems I (*=iq:Vn-) and II (*q:in-); in Cham. cf. also q:in- ( = =aq:n-) 'to break' (q:in- is transitive, =aq:n- can be both transitive and intransitive). The root should be kept apart from PA *=iq:ʷ- / *q:ʷar- 'to tear off' (q.v.).
