pa-, caus.

3.
eh, ni-
fig
to be praised; to be complimented; to be flattered; to be caused to think highly of oneself.
The idiom here is to "make the ears stick out", which is what figuratively happens when one is complimented. In English, the
idiom for the same idea is to "turn the head" or to "have the ears tingle". If the idea involves conceit, the English would
be to "get a big head".
My ears were caused to turn out by him over the thing I did.
His compliments over what I did made my ears tingle.
