*tinti-ngara°
• to lie supine.
Note: WAWₕ: tintingara; MRBₕ: sinsingara; TOLₕ: tindingara, tindiranga; MEKₕ: tindingara. The Mori Bawah form is likely a borrowing from Mori Atas or Padoe, where t > s before high vowels is regular (compare also Mori Bawah tinti opo ‘to lie prone’). The Konawe form tindiranga exhibits irregular metathesis, possibly from contamination from merangga ‘to lie prone’.
