Meaning: see

Akusha: če=iʔ-

Chiragh: =aIh-

Comments: Cf. also Ur. =aʔ-/=iʔ-. In Chir. the verb has the dur. stem =alhI-, fut. =arhI- and belongs to the -n-conjugation; thus the precise nature of the PD paradigm is not yet clear (in particular, not clear are reasons for the loss of the Inlaut resonant -r- in most forms).

Akusha: =aIqʷ=/=iqʷ-(U)

Chiragh: =aIq-/=urqI- 2
