koboma
koh-BO-ma
kill
French: tuer
Koboma moto ezali lisumu.
To kill a person is a sin.
Tuer quelqu'un est un péché.
To kill — the heaviest verb the language owns. Koboma is the infinitive "to kill." The hunter's catch and the gravest commandment share this root; "koboma moto ezali lisumu" — to kill a person is a sin — carries the weight of every faith spoken here.
