  = I know what you swam to. Note in the last example that the
  English translation could also have been "I know WHERE you
  swam".  However, use of "where" is ambiguous because it's
  not clear whether the deleted preposition is "to" or
  "at/in".  Because of this potential for ambiguity, we will
  always use "what" plus the correct preposition, even if the
  result sounds awkward.

The entry for "jodapapa" has been replaced by its focused form "jodapamba".

jodapamba - fill with, cause to become full with/of.
  The unfocused form "jodapapa" simply means 'to fill P'. The
  P-d form "jodapupa" meaning 'to fill or become full' will
  also be useful.
