comment

eʁibxur (INSIDE-OUT-fall)* and geʁibxur (UNDER-OUT-fall) have the same bound root xur, which is present in other words with other preverbs (=prefixes): ibxur (fall in smth), kibxur (fall into liquid), etc.


* These are not proper glosses for the word, it is a scheme to represent the root and the preverbs in the word
