Above mentioned two main meanings are recurred in the root. For instance, “ca” sylla-semema which is in the word - “casu (snow)” states the same meaning of the shape of snow flake, in the word “sacu-( to sprinkle, to spray)” - the meaning of sprinkling and spraying, in the word “ccgce-(order, system)” - the meaning of beeoming systematic and well-ordered, in the word “cuca-(to get tired)” - the meaning that the power of people or animal aiming directly for something weakens, returns and becomes loose, in the word “buca-(to return), bucal-(to boil)” - the meaning of returning, going against and weakening or being exhausted, “ca” sylla-semcma in the words “тооцох-(К> account)” has the meaning of registering the whole thing at the same time and “ci” sylla- semema in the word “тоочих-(и> enumerate)” has the meaning of registering item by item.

But “cu” sylla-semcma which is in some words, such as, coy (ember), naya- ca (uncle/aunt - one-fork/branch T.A.Bcrtagacv), yo-cu (special, extreme), mancu (full-faced, chubby), mancui (swaddling clothes, nappy), cu (ch-suffix to distinguish in parallel way), qaracu (common people), comcuy (Mongolian tent - ger which has a wooden roof ring with neck) expresses the meaning of “gather from every direction” and “not many, whole and one”.
