| 总结: | Up to now a noun šuwaru, tentatively identified as some plant substance, and a randomly homophonous adjective and adverb šuwaru- ('full[y]', vel sim.) have been postulated. Instead the contexts of the latter allow an interpretation 'weighty, hefty, mighty' and 'heavily, mightily, greatly', pointing to an etymological and morphological kinship with Lithuanian svarùs 'heavy'. The seeming noun forms can likewise be interpreted by assuming quasi-nominalized and adverbial uses of the neuter adjective. |
