Comments: In Av. the verb belongs to the -n-conjugation, reasons for which are not clear. The root must be reconstructed with a labialised second vowel: this is supported by the Ablaut stem *ƛ:uH- reflected in Av. ƛ:úh-ine 'enter' (Chad. ƛuhn- id.), Tind. ƛ:ʷē-ʎa 'go, walk', and would account for the labialised first vowel in Akhv., Cham. and Kar. Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. -uƛ:-, Tl. -aƛ:-, Ratl. -oƛ:- 'go, walk' and the Ablaut variant *ƛ:(ʷ)e reflected in Tind., Cham. ƛ:e 'come, come on!'.
Beside the main meaning 'to go, walk' this root has (in all languages) the meaning 'to happen, to become' (Tind. and Cham. use in this meaning a stem with Ablaut: =uƛ:-). The same verbal stem also denotes 'to finish' (Av. ƛ:úʕ-, Chad. ƛúʕ-n-, And. -uƛ:-, Kar. -oƛ:-, Tok. -eƛ:-) or 'to begin' (Tind., Cham. -uƛ:-).
