style='font-size:12.0pt'>I'm having a senior moment, or maybe it reflects an
actual lexical lacuna in <br>
English. Anyway, right now I can't think of an English word for what happens <br>
to a fire if no more fuel is added to it. Of course, we can say that it <br>
"dies." And I am including 'die' and 'go out' glosses in a Russian
dialect <br>
dictionary I am working on. But I would also like to include a gloss, if <br>
there is one, which is not semantically extended from its core meaning, as <br>
"die" and 'go out' are in English. I think that
"extinguish" is only <br>
transitive. Does it have an intransitive counterpart of any kind, even if it <br>
is a different lexeme?<br>
<br>
