Lexember 14th: chuëto, "pour"


Another fairly basic word that I've somehow overlooked so far: chuëto /tʃu.ˈə.to/ pour. It takes the allative mai for target, and the ablative li for source, which can be either a vessel or material.

Sen mai ëmar si chuëti re.
bowl ALL milk ACC pour.INP PART
Pour milk into the bowl.

Ëlá në mata li kumma si chuëto.
3PL TOP water ABL oil ACC pour.PFV
They poured oil off the water (as after separation).
