Description:
The term 'hajk' refers to a line or boundary. It is a highly productive root. It's simplest sense is to delineate or draw a border, or the border itself. The forms with e- typivcally have to do with limiting or confiming. The forms with u- tend to have to do with defining or determining things. The forms with ro- tend to have to do with the violation or transgression of limits, and by extension, social transgressions and violence.
Noun:
As a noun, 'hajk' refers to the border or edge of something, or to a drawn line. The derived form hajkca refers to something that bounds in or delineates - it can be used as a word for fence.
The derived form 'ehájk' refers to a limit or limitation.
Metaphorically, the work 'uhájk' is extended to mean the definition of something like a word.
The derived terms with ro- refer to violence and violations, either of a general sense of right or specifically of the law, but more often of the law unless the speaker is trying to talk about violence in a more clinical and distanced way. 'Rohájk' refers to a violation, or sometimes violenace in general, and 'rohájkysyn' is unambigiously violence in general or as a concept.
Verb:
As a verb, 'hajk' is a transitive skurun verb meaning to delineate something or to draw a line around it. It takes an ergative drawer and an absolutive thing delineated. If two objects joined with 'epis' are employed, it implies drawing a line to separate the two.
The ehájk form tends to imply trapping or confining something, especially if combined with 'fit' as an adverb, or to limit.
The word 'uhájk' works similarly but means to define something. Similarly, 'rohájk' means to violate a rule or the law, or to commit an act of violence against someone - where rohájk is somewhat distanced, it can apply more generally not just to physical violence but also to harsh words and disrespect. The sense of physical violence needs context of more information to clarify.
