Ngo is also used to form polite commands. The word /leir/ commuicates irritation, as in: /Ni azo bei leir?/ What (in the world) are you doing? The /bbeixleir/ is similar to the /leir/; it communicates irritation: /Ni azo ar ddei me ddu zza bbeixleir?/ 'What do you have to say for yourself?" /holbbaexl/ is the only one of these words that occurs at the beginning of the clause and simply marks a rhetorical question, as in: Holbbaexl, ngo bei cox a?

Similarly /ziddu/ is the combination of /zi/ 'perform a ceremony' and that same nominalizing -word /ddu/, and means 'offering'--which is a general term that could mean any kind of offering. It could mean an animal sacrifice or some kind of food or drink offering. The word /neirziggie/ means the place where these ceremonies take place. It is a general term that does not specify what kind of ceremony is performed; /ggie/ means 'place'. The word /seixlzi/ is the verb for sacrifice; it is a combination of the morphemes /seixl/ 'kill' and /zi/ 'perform a ceremony'. /seixlziggie/ means the place where sacrifices are performed. It is a more specific term than /neirziggie/. Though the people generally do not build alters--they just have certain spots where sacrifices are performed--if there were an alter it would be called /seixlziggie/ rather than /neirziggie/.Compare 另见neirneir beineir i ggerneir jjiexr dae ddarneirsaermoneirsaerporneir xiexneirzisuneirjiggie ne²¹-tʃi³³-gʲɛ³³
