Naish-Story:
shu-ya-tee Notes:
This verb can be used with nouns such as "joy" or "shame", but note that when no noun is explicitly given, the reading is "blame" for this verb. For example: haa kát ashuwatée "he blamed it on us" BUT, kadéix' haa kát ashuwatée "he brought shame on us". N éet~ can replace N kát~ to give the same meaning. For example, du éet ashuwatée "s/he blamed it on him/her". To blame someone for eating something, use N ý'éit~, as in: du ý'éit shuýwaatée "I blamed him for eating it". To blame someone for doing something with the hands, use N jeet~, as in: du jeet shuýwaatée "I blamed him for doing it".
