High Eolic word of the day: sarengác

sarengá- (intransitive verb), imperfective sarengác: to be in pain, to feel pain.

ca sarengác míremec
I feel.pain.IMPERF.1 stomach.INESS
“my stomach hurts”

sarengác is a typical intransitive verb in that it does not take the transitive marker -am. Although a (non-obligatory) noun in the inessive can still be added to specify where the pain is being felt, note that this is not considered to be a direct argument of the verb.
