Usage notes edit
This form cannot be used alone. It requires an indirect object in the form of the postposition shaa, naa, baa. The postposition and verb are frequently written as one word: baayízííd, etc. The simple verb that means pour it is yayiizííd, which may be used with the postposition shá, ná, bá if needed.
