Etymology
From. Possibly from the same source of the root. The meaning of this root refers either to physical maturity of humans or to an increment in size of plants and vegetation.

The initial consonant of the root is subjected to the following irregular phonetic alterations:
 * In the theme ni + ∅ + -YĄ́ (“to grow up, mature, accumulate”, intransitive)
 * 1) when preceded by the voiceless fricative -sh-, the marker of the first person singular, it surfaces as y (IPA: )
 * e.g.,, and
 * 1) in the first person duoplural, due to the d-effect, it is realized as g (IPA: )
 * e.g.,, and
 * In the theme O + ni + ł + -YĄ́ (“to raise O, bring O up”, transitive)
 * 1) it merges with the ł-classifier, producing s (IPA: )
 * e.g.,, ,
 * 1) it becomes z (IPA: ) after l (< d + ł-classifier, by d-effect), especially in passive themes (ni + l + -YĄ́, “to be raised, reared”, passive)
 * e.g.,

The momentaneous imperfective stem has two shapes, mainly and. The latter, however, is identical to the conclusive imperfective stem of the same root.
