In [[historical usage]] and in the book {{pu|en}}, the word {{tp|pali}} was often used as a generic action verb meaning "to do". This has since become notably less popular, an instance of {{w|semantic drift}}. This drift is sometimes referred to as {{tp|pali}}n't.<ref name="palint">{{cite web|url=https://mun.la/sona/palint|title=palin't|author={{tok|[[jan Kekan San]]}}|website=mun.la|publisher=|access-date=2024-01-21}}</ref>
