"Todos de esos momentos se <perdán> en tiempo como lagrimas en la

Can anyone parse the marked word?  I would have written "pierden."
Is it a typo?  An archaic form?  If subjunctive, why the accent mark?

reship, v. place on a ship again or transfer to another
ship; "reship the cargo"

"Ship," in one context, is no more than "send" or "dispatch" which
is "vênca" in Senjecas.  There is no longer a connotation of a
sailing vessel as in, "We shipped the package by UPS."

But there is still the meaning " to place or take on board a ship."
The verb "naaûsa" (> naaûso, ship, boat) means to sail or navigate.
A newly coined word is used here: "nááusvênca."  "To reship"
is "mherhnááusvênca."  "mherh-" is the prefix meaning "re-."
