Q. nútima adj. “*lowerable” (Category: to Fall)

Q. nútima, adj. “*lowerable” (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 -ima “-able” (PE22/156), so meaning something like “*lowerable = able to be lowered”. Based on notes elsewhere on the same page, I would expect the form *nútaima “lowerable” for a ta-causative; see the discussion on the entry for -ima for further details.
