Q. nútaite (nútaiti-) adj. “*(naturally) lowering, ?degrading” (Category: to Fall)

Q. nútaitë (nútaiti-), adj. “*(naturally) lowering, ?degrading” (Category: to Fall)

An unglossed adjective in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969, based on the verb núta- “lower” combined with the suffix -itë “apt to do, generally or naturally doing” (PE22/156), so perhaps meaning something like “*(naturally) lowering = degrading”, though probably without the inherently negative connotations of the English word “degrading”.
