corrected verb endings for classifiers tu/tu'a/tu'u

I was trying to translate a sentence into Saweli when I realized that the verb as given in the dictionary could take only one argument, the subject. Yet my sentence required an object, and the default of that classifier was A/P-d. It turns out that the verb endings for the classifiers tu/tu'a/tu'u should have been "-v" (meaning 2 arguments, dynamic) instead of "-f" (1 arg, static). So I've corrected them.
 
My translation of the sentence is "Ye'ujon tu'atrov wa'ufeti zonpit." I heard the original English sentence in a podcast today.
