v. (Ia)

a. bíŝi di-yáˁʸheṣ énhi díˀʸho ḷe-sáˁaʰ ‘Is there anybody who can dive for my watch?’ (CSOL II 4:32)

pass. ˁéʸhaṣ (yeˁóuhoṣ/ľiˁʸhóṣ):

wa-ˁéʸhaṣ ˁes wa-ˀirḳíḥoʰ ‘And one man dove down for it, and it was brought back’ (CSOL II 4:32)

‘To dive for something (ḷe-)’ (a)

According to our informants, ˁéʸhoṣ is not quite synonymous with ḥéyaṭ: the former is used for diving down to the very bottom, while the latter is used for merely descending into a body of water.
