Word family

Formed from 𐰴𐰆𐰺𐰴- [kork-] “to fear, to be afraid” using -(ı)g⁴ (nomen actionis). The very common suffix -(ı)g4 forms nominals from verbs. Nominals derived from verbs with most formatives denote either the subject when the verb is intransitive and the object when the verb is transitive, or the action.
