Yep, _duwak_ is "to be." Thanks for the encouragement! The
periphrastic verbs are a favorite of mine too, especially the
progressive tenses (I like the way they sound translated literally back
into English -- "I am of to write"). Look for stuff like derivational
morphology to come soon. If I don't suddenly lose interest. :)
