	This one is slightly more regular, but with variation from speaker
to speaker.  I usually hear wowate, woyate, wote, wo'uNyutapi, but
Buechel's grammar gives wawate, wayate, wote, wauNyutapi (with wauNtapi in
parentheses -- I assume the absence of the glottal stop in the Buechel
citations won't puzzle anyone; he simply didn't write it between vowels).
There are a number of other words that indicate an old rule converting ayu
to o, which explains the third person form, but the others are clearly
re-analyzed from that or re-derived from the transitive forms.
