este, m. Say.

usage: Used in place of ethé, usually with a direct object. The inflection matches the role of tsu in the original sentence, so it generally appears in the accusative or some reduced form thereof. Sa esté «Saravíhé!»: I said "It's good!"

etymology: Contracted from ethis tsikhe, i.e. "says that".
attestation: Late Zeyetaní and afterwards.
