ka-si-x'oo Notes:
Note that the postpositional phrase át/aadé/áý 'on it' is not required with this verb, and therefore is not given in the Leer-Edwards theme. It is given in the forms above however, to show how the postposition changes with each mode. Without the át, one could say: akawsix'óo 's/he drove nails in it'.
