Philip Newton (3/22/2012): Someone (De'vID jonpIn?) asked Marc Okrand abou=
t {Ding} at the qepHom wa'maHDIch (2011) in Saarbr=FCcken. I seem to recall=
that he agreed that it was intransitive (the spinning thing {Ding}'s, and =
the one who spins it {DIngmoH}'s it), but am not sure whether the answer mi=
ght not have been the characteristical noncommittal instead.
