KLBC: need

The suffix for need is {-nIS} (2).
TKD 4.2.2. 
   {bISopnIS} you need to eat.
TKW 203
   {tIqwIj Sa'angnIS} I must show you my heart.

Is there a VERB for "need" ?
   "I need a ship."                  Duj vI*need*
   "He needs new shoes."      waqmey chu' *need*

or do we have to say that in a different way, like
   "I need to use a ship"                Duj vIlo'nIS
   "He needs to buy new shoes"    waqmey chu' je'nIS
