I suggest the verb {natlh} "to expend, drain". It also means "to be 
disgusting", so this verb, to me at least, is "tainted" by this slang 
meaning, giving a slight negative connotation to any use of the verb. Seems 
a good fit for "to waste", qar'a'?

But that is only my opinion. ramchu' vuDwIj. rIntaH.
