It should come as no surprise that verbs meaning COPULATE are closely associated with notions of LOVE and DESIRE. Most etyma in this chapter have a semantic range which encompasses both the physical act of love and its emotional concomitant. At least one root makes an overt connection between COPULATE and PENIS (cf. #548 PTB *s-nyak ⪤ *s-nik PENIS / COPULATE, above). Innumerable euphemisms for the act of sexual congress occur, but most of these are best treated in a separate study devoted to verbs. Typical verbs extended to a sexual sense include: PUSH (Karbi dòy ‘push’, che-dōy ‘copulate’); DO (Jingpho dī ‘do, make, form, fashion; be guilty of illicit intercourse’); MEET (Jingpho khrúm ‘meet, converge; have sexual intercourse’), etc.
