attack someone
Theme:
ji-S-d-.aat~ (ø motion)
for (plural) S to attack, assault, fall upon
|
Naish-Story:
ji-di-.aat Notes:
To indicate who is being attacked, use: N éet~ 'to N'. For example: Haa éet has jiwdi.át. 'They attacked us'. It is also acceptable to use this verb without specifying who was attacked. For example: Has jiwdi.át 'They attacked'. Therefore, the N éet~ is not given in the Leer-Edwards theme above.
