LOL!! I have 7 verbs so far, and this is the only "violent" verb :-) The
other verbs are:
        Kr0's   /k<h>*.Os/ (Kirsh) to decorate, to beautify, or to write
                in the color-pattern based writing system
        ta'ma   /t]ama/ to speak, to say
        le's    /lEs/ to go, to move, to travel
        ree's   /*.E:s/ to hasten, to move quickly; when used
                comparatively, means to move faster than "le's".
        fa't3   /FatV"/ to appear to, to be seen (the actual meaning is
                "to see", but because the language uses different case
                markings than one would expect, the English gloss is
                probably better in the passive)
        be'jh   /bEC<vcd>/ to give (as a present), or to send (a gift).
                Implies an intimacy between sender and recipient; another
                verb (haven't actually come up with it yet) is used for
                more impersonal giving.
