sleep. VblN-\chez-3Sg
'sleeping (staying overnight) at his/her place.' [K-d]6.5.3 'under' (daw, daegg)Before a noun, the preposition in T-ka and T-md is daw before a C, and either
daw or daegg before a V, hence daw nae-hasn = daegg "ae-hasn 'under the tent'.
Prasse attributes the gg to an original w-w at the morpheme boundary
(something like daw wae-haen) when the MaSg prefix on the noun began
with *w (MGT 1.82). The A-grm dialect does have daeww as the basic form of
the preposition. There is, however, also a V-length difference between daw
and daegg (daeww) variants.
