The false friend is worth flagging first: is to shout, never to weep. Tears are , and confusing the two gives you a room full of people yelling when you meant they were upset. The - prefix is so common on this root that , to let out a sudden shout, has earned its own place in the frequency list, and it is what narrative prose uses to introduce an exclamation. Krio is a shout, i is to scream outright, and you shout a person but shout a word as a plain object.
