When I first rad the original question, my eyes moved to the AIREI, which
presumably could also have been <transliterated> as hAIREI and thus have a
slightly different meaning. That was what I thought the question referred to
initially. What has led to the NA27 orthography here, or is the 3pers.sing.
of hAIREW not hAIREI ?

thanks for any comments,
