Re: "To slurp" in latin, is there such a thing?

Senjecan has two!  I've decided to go the Spanish route, one indicating
permanence (esa) and the other temporariness (mana).

laka = to slurp (up), transitive and intransitive.

mus laka, naaru mus esa.

I suppose the second pronoun could be left out: mus laka, naaru esa.
Yes, that sounds right.  I'll add it to the grammar.

I assume that, in this instance, we're talking about a permanent
situation.  Oh, one could be in a vegetative state and not able to
slurp any more.  But I don't think that's an ordinary occurrence.
