Usage notes

 * The verb kixekojapai is used when one person (or non-human being) speaks or orates. When someone engages in dialog with others, the verb changes to akixekojatapai. Note that Wauja adds the prefix –a and suffix -ta as markers that the speaker is not merely speaking, but also "causing another to speak."
