Type 13. Verb-stem c + v + c^ + c + a + c^; aorist c-{-v + c^ + v + c + a 

 + c^. For i- umlaut of the a see § 8, 3a. This type embraces a very 

 large number of verbs, chiefly of iterative, usitative, or intensive sig- 

 nification. Of these, some are the iterative or usitative derivatives 

 of simpler verbs; others, again, are hardly found in simpler form, 

 the action they express being of a necessarily repetitive character 

 (e. g., RUB, RATTLE, CHEw) ; in still others the repetitive idea is not 

 strongly marked or is even absent. Of Type 13a, which covers prac- 

 tically the whole number of type-cases, examples will be given under 

 the characteristic stem-vowels.
