Usage notes

  • The only modern dictionary that has this verb is Antonova & Shellerʼs dictionary of Kildin Sami. The original inchoative sense there is lost, and the derivate of куэввлэ seems to have completely replaced the original word. However, in Itkonenʼs dictionary both words have this distinction.
