Etymology edit

yí- (“directed at”, combining form of yíní- in the 3rd person) + -ł- (classifier)-tseii (neuter perfective stem of root -TSEII, “to be dry”).

Ł-classifier doesn't have a transitive-causative meaning in this base.

Verb edit

yíłtseii

  1. he/she/it is dry, dried up, withered

Usage notes edit

This is a neuter verb that uses only the perfective mode.

This verb is highly irregular as it combines forms from both imperfective and perfective paradigms.
