tuwil₂
/tuil/
v_rt.
“plant_rice”

v.
for someone (egtuwil, agent, eg><ø-) to plant rice (paley) by making a hole in the ground with a stick held in one hand and dropping the seed in the hole with the other hand (egtuwilen, eg><en-)
Cult. The difference between this and eg-erek is that a less pointed stick is used. Evidently, neither way is superior to the other, it just depends on the preference of the field owner. Another difference between the two is that here, the same person that makes the hole also drops in the seed. However, in the case of eg-erek, it is a different person who drops in the seed.
