baptize him/her

Theme: 
héent~ O-ya-S-ø-tee~ (ø motion)
for S to baptize, immerse (singular) O in water or pour water upon O as a religious rite
Naish-Story: 
héen- + ya-ya-tee
Notes: 
While the 3rd person perfective habitual negative form: tlél héent ayawootéeych is grammatical, it is a little semantically odd, meaning "s/he hasn't baptized him/her yet". Speakers prefer the 4th person form: tlél héent yadutéeych "s/he hasn't been baptized yet".
