Description:

The term 'sef' means the hand of a human or ape with fingers and a thumb. It is also a transitive skurun verb meaning to grab something, or to actuate a switch or knob. It takes an ergative subject that is the grabber and an absolutive object that is the thing grabbed. It can also mean to hold on to something or to detain someone or something.

The modifier form 'sefys' is used as a word meaning 'easy', 'easily' or 'readily' from the sense of having something in hand.

There is also a metaphoric extension of 'sef' to mean to understand something, where the noun form means 'understanding' and the verb form means to understand. Idiomatically, the modifier esútta, with or along, can be added to make the understanding meaning more clear.
