You post a meaning and others evolve a new meaning from it which may or may not include inflection. Preferably you will provide forms in the language. Multiple derivations or polysemy in the new meaning are appreciated.
For examples: *riko "cat" comes from *ko "small animal" in Old Amarin via the addition of an unknown prefix either *ti or *ri, *ina "dog" comes from Proto Amaric *eina "weasel/stoat" and *rikita "fan" derives from an Old Amarin verb *tike meaning "to admire".
To Start: "to start/begin/ready"

Re: Meaning Evolution Game
'to start/begin/ready' → 'to resume'
'to start/begin/ready' (reduplicated) → 'to repeat'
edit: what's the difference between 'Semantics Thread' and this one?

Re: Meaning Evolution Game
It's a game
And you are supposed to provide another example not just endlessly modify the same word.
Re: Meaning Evolution Game
I mean what's the difference between the rules of both games? Anyway, I think it'd be more interesting if we continuously modified the meaning for a while, just like in the word evolution game.
