English Translation
Describes taking a small lump of sadza and placing it on top of one's heap of sadza; a mother who wanted her son to take a wife would, when she cooked for him, set a small lump of sadza on top of his portion in this way. Also describes snatching something up quickly and forcefully, as in: he grabbed the axe and went off into the bush.
