So these aren't exactly just words, but they're interesting phrases which don't translate directly into English:

'Ukushaywa ngumoya' = (lit.) 'To be hit by the wind/spirit' And is equivalent to something along the lines of 'to take the air' or to go out for a stroll.

'Ukuphathwa ubuthongo' = (lit.) 'To be carried by/afflicted with drowsiness' equivalent to 'sleepy'.
