gunra-iSurlala malmaliu onEnglishshakeThis form of the verb implies a single shake. Banrai and gunrai (including banbanrai and gungunrai) are typically used for the shaking caused by someone pushing on something, like a sapling or branch, causing it to move back and forth. Kanrai or kankanrai is to shake something that has another thing inside, like shaking a bottle with water inside to clean it. Luhái is synonymous with kanrai and is typically used of shaking food out of a tin or saucepan or a length of bamboo. Tinrai and tintinrai are used of shaking a container to see what's inside. Gánuh is being shaken in an earthquake, or used of a house that shakes when people are walking inside. Gunái is the transitive form of gánuh, so this is used of what the earthquake does or the person does who is walking inside the house.Iau dos i kauh ngo na sari man iau panki máng kai i aun kubau. Má pákánbung a sari mák tohoi suri gunrai rákán kubau suri nák pur, mái sár ngo man kápate pur.
