Commentary
Attested in Patz ex.(268) 'We swam to the island' and ex.(291) 'They swam through the river', where it appears in the past form mariji-ny.
Citation form mariji-y (y-conjugation; -ny is the past suffix). A distinct 'swim' verb beside janji-l 'swim, bathe'.
Added from the reference grammar (Patz); not present in the original community dictionary.
