The "A" class verb 'arrive'.

Root verb -luh-


Note: This verb has a field of several related meanings including: arrive, come (to a destination), go to (a destination), etc. It is often used with the directional prefixes /wi-/ and /da-/ for more shades of meaning. With the /da-/ "direction towards" prefix, it can mean "to arrive or come here (to a destination)". With the /wi-/ "direction away from" prefix, it can mean "arrive, go there". With the iterative prefix /i-/ at the beginning of the verb, it means "to return (to the starting location)". Since the iterative prefix /i-/ has some peculiarities in the way it combines with words, this form of the verb is fleshed out in another page as "return" (coming soon!).
