masa1Englishguilty; shamed; ashamed; embarrassedThis term connotes both hidden embarrassment or shame as well as embarrassment because of being caught in the act of doing something bad or improper. It seems to have more of a 'now, this moment' connotation than rumrum does. Masa may come about because of guilt or not wanting to be told what you're hearing. It may have to do with losing face. One can be masa or ámáris in God's eye alone without any person seeing or knowing. The result is often that a person has nothing to say, so no defense. See rumrum for differentiation of the 'shame' verbs.Kálámul a siksikip má kes ák han hut sarwai, ki kálámul a siksikip a masa i mátán kálámul er a hut sarwai mák lala rumrum.A person who is stealing and someone comes arriving while he is doing that, then the person who is stealing is embarrassed in the eye of that person who found him doing that and he is very shamed.rumrumamasa
