I think that since bone is something alive, and since usually it "warns" you that it is ready to break (through pain), then the {-rup} is more appropriate than {-beH}.
You should know best that a bone is NOT alive, at least not in the sense that it may "warn" conciously. It doe not say "Hey look!". When it breaks, there a chemical reaction and pressure on some kind of nerve sending pulses to your brain. We interpret it as a "warning", but there nobody intentionally warning you. My construction professor always told me it's nonsense to say that "the house is breathing". You need lungs to breathe. Am 29.12.2016 um 14:26 schrieb mayqel qunenoS:

A suggestion: -> because he was holding a very heavy rock his leg was GOING to break. {nagh 'ughqu' 'uchmo' ghorchoH 'uSDaj.} When you say the bone is ready, I see a bone with a smilying face on it, waving with a hand saying "Okay, let's do this - I'm ready!" -- Lieven L.
