Discussion
Pace CAD K 284–286, there is no need to assume three lemmata: kašāru A “to repair” and kašāru C “to replace”, both a/u, are surely identical. Later kašāru B “to succeed, to achieve” (i/i), may well be another example of the shift from a/u to later i/i (see Kouwenberg 2010, 77f.). Von Soden 1975, 461 proposed to interpret the instances given for kašāru B as elliptic use of the otherwise transitive verb.
