Right. In the vocabulary revealed so far, there simply isn't a verb
for "love". Some use <muSHa'> by analogy with <par>/<parHa'>.
Others stay on safer ground and simply use <parHa'> or
<parHa'qu'>. Or you can rephrase using something that we do have
vocabulary for, which is how <nong> got into that song when
the English has "love". For another example, one translation of
"I love you" is simply <bangwI' SoH>.
