 inferred from the first component, which is the particle hu, u, the verbs in 

 -ua relate to acts done at a distance or at an elevation above the ground. 

 Many nouns in -u, -o express portions of the animal and human body, and 

 in the same manner some verbs in -ua refer to acts or conditions of the 

 whole body or parts of it, especially to motions performed in the water.
