=A0I imagine {DIng} works like {jIr} "rotate, twirl" vs. {jIrmoH} "twirl ba=
t'leth, cause bat'leth to rotate" (cf. KGT p.60).
Someone (De'vID jonpIn?) asked Marc Okrand about {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 might not have been the characteristical
noncommittal instead.
