Re: verbs of eating

I regret to say that Rihana-ye has only one verb for eating,"go" which is
used indifferently for eating by humans of all ranks and situations and also for
eating by animals and other non-humans. It would be possibly to indicate the
social situation by various adverbs, honorific or denigrating prefixes etc. but
the basic verb would remain thesame.
