Unknown verb
Verb meaning: HIDE [hide]
Comment: There is an intransitive verb kakureru 'hide oneself' that is morphologically related to the transitive kakusu 'hide'. It will not be good to relate them by valency change, because the intransitive verb selects the subjects which have potential to move by themselves. Presumably, these two verbs are best treated as independent lexical items, despite their morphological affinity.
