I've never worked out swear words either, but the word _sutaigagudialá_
(roughly "pervert" or "fornicator") would probably serve in that
function. _Sunagagudí_ would probably also be an acceptable variant.
The first is based on the noun _gagudialá_ (literally "wrongful
mating"), and the second on the cognate verb _gagudí_ (literally
"wrongfully mate").
Perhaps _kugaguditlífin!_ ("Fornicate with yourself!") might be an
appropriate curse. ;-)
