What's the verb please?

[juryrigging]

If in doubt, break it down and see if you can't work it out for yourself:

A --> Subject prefix "(s)he"
Na --> Tense marker "present"
Ni --> Object infix "me"
Lazimisha --> Verb "to force"

In this case it's the causative form of the verb lazimika, "to be compelled/forced".
