Verb:

As a verb, 'leko' is a noxaj verb, so the image is one of motion or desire towards a goal. It takes an absolutive worker, and a dative work matter or discipline or beneficiary (the object is flexible and can be ambiguous).

Leko also has a common causative form using happat where an ergative employer is added - this version means to employ or to put someone or something to work. It is also commonly used with a disintentive pali version where the dative goal is removed and the emphasis is on simply working - this is the form that would be esepcially used to say a decive is functioning.
