Usage notes

This verb is semantically limited to expression in the third person.

As it makes use of a nominal stem, this verb is not technically neuter. However, similar to a neuter verb, it cannot be conjugated in other modes.

Although this verb cannot be conjugated with subject prefixes other than the third person, the object prefix reflects the maker of the tracks.
