: This means I would never have used {SIHHa'} as a stative verb either.
{SIH} has never been used in canon. All we have is the glossary entry
"bend". My notes show that some on this list have used {*SIHlaH} as "be
flexible". FWIW, TKD also lists {joD} "stoop" (again, no attestations in
canon) for the actions of people.
