Verb [Sarawak Malay]

IPA: /(ə)m.baʔ/, /ŋəm.baʔ/ (note: with N- affix) Forms: mbak [alternative], ngembak [alternative]
Etymology: Inherited from Proto-Malayic *babaʔ, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *baba, from Proto-Austronesian *baba. Compare to Old Javanese wawa (“to bring, to carry”). The /m/ in embak probably comes from a fossilised active form (cf. Malay bawa > membawa).
