tÀrit-

Meaning:
to sweat; perspire

tĂ€rit- is an intransitive verb meaning “to sweat, perspire”. In Irık Bitig 50, tokuz kat ĂŒĂ§ĂŒrgĂŒĆ‹ topulgınça tĂ€ritzĂŒn means “let [the horse] sweat until the nine-layer saddle felt is torn through”. The same valency is confirmed by Old Uyghur texts ĂŒkĂŒĆŸ tĂ€ritip “sweating greatly” and KāƥĥarÄ«'s er tĂ€ritti “the man sweated”.

tĂ€rit- is historically related to tĂ€r “sweat”, but its exact formation is unclear. Erdal describes it as derivationally irregular, in contrast to the transparent tĂ€rlĂ€- (tĂ€r + +la-) “to sweat”. An analysis through an unattested *tĂ€ri- plus -(ı)t- has been proposed, but is speculative and conflicts with the intransitive meaning of the attested verb. Secure direct continuations of the exact stem survive in Tuvan derit- and Sakha tirit-; the first vowel of the Sakha form is secondary through vowel attraction.
