Proto-Dargwa: *=ik:-
Meaning: to love
Akusha: =ig-es
Chiragh: =ik:ag- /=ik:-
Comments: In Chir. the terminative stem is reduplicated (probably an archaic feature, cf., e.g., the Tsakhur paradigm). A derived noun is Chir. ik:ana 'bride-groom', r-ik:ana 'bride' ("the beloved one"; an exact match is Ag. Bursh. k:ane-f 'bride-groom').
