Gerunds
The gerund suffix -ru る changes basic verbs into nouns describing the activity.
Compound verbs, as well as those involving noun incorporation, can also be changed like this.
The genitive determiners, including -qa げ, allow for (only) the subject of the verb to be mentioned.
“the bear’s walking”
“my being bad”
This continues to apply in instances using argument promotion.
“the eating of meat”
“his murdering of another”
“looking at the moon”
