paketta'
To finish cooking on low heat (of rice); reduce (heat).
When the water level of cooking rice has dropped enough so it cannot be seen anymore, the rice is stirred, covered with a lid, the fire reduced and in that way steamed until done. All of this is paketta'.
Wait a little while for me; I am just (stirring the rice and) reducing the heat.
Pinaketta' ne binellahin, kinulangan ne ebbutnen.
The rice is steaming now, the fire has been reduced.
Da'akku iye maketta' binellaku.
I told her to reduce the fire for what I am cooking.
