Word "Ndakuruha": We cannot tell if you mean ndaakuruha or ndakuruha, since people don’t always write long vowels as double vowels. No matter, maybe we can figure part of it out. I think the root must be kʊ́lʊha “get old” since rʊha “be tired” does not allow an object pronoun kʊ, and only one tense has a prefix -kʊ-. Given the root kʊ́lʊha, this could be ndakʊ́lʊha “I will get old”, ndáákʊ́lʊha “I got old (long ago)”, ndáákʊlʊha “I am old”, ndaakʊlʊ́há “If I get old” which may also be pronounced ndaakʊ́lʊha. Other variants arise with meanings like “I, not getting old”, which seem improbable. This might also be ndaakʊlʊha meaning “I got tired (recently)”.
