ᴱQ. kama- v. “to lie down; (c. loc.) to endure, suffer” (Category: to Lie, Recline)

⚠️ᴱQ. cama-, v. “to lie down; (c. loc.) to endure, suffer” (Category: to Lie, Recline)
ᴺQ. !cainu- “to lie down, *bend down; [+ locative] to endure, suffer (from)”

A verb appearing in the Qenya Lexicon as ᴱQ. kama- “to lie down” with a transitive variant ᴱQ. kamu- “to lay down, bend down, reduce”, both under the early root ᴱ√KAMA “lie down” (QL/44). Combined with the locative, the intransitive kama- also meant “to endure, suffer”.

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I would update these verbs to ᴺQ. cainu- “lie down, bend down” based on the primitive inceptive verbkainu- “lie down” from the early 1950s (PE22/136). I would further assume that like its earlier variant it meant “endure, suffer (from)” in combination with the locative: cainunen soiciesse “I suffered from/endured thirst, (lit.) I bent down in thirst”.
