Someone (De'vID jonpIn?) asked Marc Okrand about {DIng} at the qepHom
wa'maHDIch (2011) in Saarbrücken.

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.

Cheers,
Philip
