Part of speech: verb

_______________________________________________

(HQ 12.2:8):  Generally, one expresses the end of a stretch of time by using a verb rather than a noun. That is, one says when the month ends rather than at the end of the month. The verb for this kind of end is {Dor}. For example: {DorDI' jar mejpu'} "At the end of the month, he/she left". (Literally, this sentence means "When the month ended, he/she left.") ... When an event over which one has some control ends (one can't cause a month to end), a different verb is used:  {van} ... Another verb, {ghang}, is used to express the idea of a premature ending.

DorDI' jar mejpu' 
At the end of the month, he/she left. (HQ 12.2:8)
