Description:
The term 'kuz' refers to a drain or draining.
Noun:
As a noun, 'kuz' refers to something, usually human-made, which allows water or another fluid to drain away on its own, possibly with a plug or other toggle to control the flow.
Verb:
As a verb, kuz is a transitive skurun verb meaning to drain something, without the implciation of continuous effort or use of a device like leffo, pump, with an ergative agent that causes the draining and the absolutive patient, which is the thing container drained, rather than the substance drained from the container. The substance drained can be added using the null preposition. This is a little different than the way English would do it where the substance would be a core argument and the container would be non-core.
