I said to him: “What’s going on with this goat – does it ever not squat?” He said: “It’s suffering from constipation”’ (CSOL III 14:16)

I was going in and out, but I could not urinate (lit. the urine did not come out), it got blocked because of little stones in it’ (Bulakh 2024:166–167)

In the meaning ‘to suffer from constipation’, the verb can be used both impersonally with a semantic subject introduced through ḷe- (example a) and with an overt subject (example b) (Bulakh 2024:166)
