Abstract

The study proposes that the verb currently known as darāru/nadarruru “to move freely” should be separated into two verbs, a G-stem verb darāru “to fall, to go down” and an N-tantum verb nadruru “to return”. For this purpose, every single attestation of the verb known to date is presented and discussed in detail. Furthermore, it is restated that the homonymous verb darāru “to intercalate” is etymologically unrelated to the root under study.
