zígembé, v. To place trust in someone making a promise; usually used with leaders. A slightly realpolitik euphemism for electing someone, regardless of the type of government.

etymology: Despite the obvious zíyu- + gembé etymology, the word actually comes from zíyugendamítevíu, "a reaction to lacking a leader." The intermediate form zígíté makes this etymology more obvious.
