The "A" class verb 'doing it' (something specific)

Root verb -advne-

Note: This is the same verb root as "to do" with the /ni-/ prefix added before the pronoun prefix to indicate "a specific thing, something already observed".

By adding ᎣᏍᏓ in front of this verb (i.e., ᎣᏍᏓ ᎾᏛᏁᎰᎢ) creates an idiom meaning "fix it, repair it".
