shagayt-nii is a phrase that can
be used in a few different situations. It might mean a triumphant “I beat you”
but it could also mean “I wore you out.”
The root sh-g creates words that suggest “tearing.”
That’s why when your dress gets caught somewhere and you hear that
ominous sound, you can say, nafnuuf-ii
inshag (“my dress is torn”).
