I've decided to tape only the first three lessons so that people can get
a feel for how the language is pronounced. I'm not really sure if
there's a need to record the remaining lessons. And even if I do, it
won't be in the foreseeable future because it's a pain in the neck and I
still occasionally make changes.

That's correct. "Vodimba" literally means 'to put/move P onto F'.
There is no Katanda word that directly corresponds to English "put".
Perhaps someone would like to try this one:
I moved the table.
