verb [GI] Gender Inflected[N] Noun[V] Verb ʡaʊʔaʊɹu 'ow'owru
[ʡaʊʔaʊɹu] 
cultivate

 Mighty Source Language: nostratic
Etymology
Etymology of creation: 1934. *ûquyVrV 'to love, to covet' (‘ 'to prefer')
Note that the symbol used in the nostratic dictionary doesn’t come across with copy/paste. It isn’t uq, it is some manner of glottalized stop, depicted as a q with a dot beneath it.

Closest Mighty equivalent would be something like: ʡuɪVɹV, which is too many vowels in a row for me, even liking a sing-song tone. So what about ʡaʊʔaʊɹu. Which sounds nicely alien to me.
Notes
ʡaʊʔaʊɹu means love, in terms of possession, covetousness, a desire to take / to have for your own. It is a preference, in that you prefer it to be yours.

Neuter gender ˧ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: Prefer, Like, Love (as in I love to possess), Desire.

Masculine gender ˦ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: Desire for something that drives you into action.

Feminine gender ˨ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: Desire for something that keeps you hoarding it.

Super Masculine gender ˥ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: Hobby, Calling (as in work), the desire to cultivate the thing you love.

Super Feminine gender ˩ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: This is the desire to change something so that it matches your preference, revise and improve, I’m not quite sure how to phrase this positively enough. It is the idea of taking something mediocre and turning it into something that one cannot help but desire. It’s like turning lead into gold.

Child gender ˩˥ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: Covet, the greedy desire for something.

Affectionate gender ˧˥ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: The aching need to possess another without regard to other factors. This isn’t reckless love like ˥ɓʰɑʀɑmʡu though. This is the sort of thing one plans for and makes happen. Whatever difficulties, such as social mores, that must be overcome, will be planned around so as to make it happen. This is the sort of love that one commits crimes of calculation to achieve.

Other gender ˧˩ʡaʊʔaʊɹu: A preference understood to stand outside the usual, but an unapologetic preference nonetheless.
