| comment | The meaning A belongs to the derived verb, and the meaning B is present in the non-derived verb. However, the verb parāsu has some other meanings like 'to stop', 'to block' which are presumably also derived from 'to cut, to cut off'. The cognates elsewhere in Semitic have the meanings 'to break', 'to rent with teeth, to cut'. | |
