I hope people don't mind if a barrage of questions exudes from my corner; I'm analysing so much text that I'm running into countless issues which no doubt many of you have encountered before.<br><br>One thing which has just struck me is:
<br><br>The OP verb for dancing is "waci gaghe" (not sure if that c is aspirated or not). I had always assumed this was a noun plus the verb "to make." Makes sense. But Hahn (p. 54) lists this lexeme amid her explanation of conjugation of verbs with the ga- instrumental prefix. Of course, "gaghe" "to make" does NOT have this prefix! If it did, we would get *aaghe - thaaghe - gaghai - aNgaghai for the conjugations, but instead of course we get paghe - shkaghe - gaghai - aNgaghai.
<br><br>So the question is, does "waci gaghe" actually use the "make" verb, or is it actually some other verb with the ga- prefix? I have searched through Dorsey but nothing has caught my eye.<br><br>Thanks for your insights!
