The verb kutulia expresses the idea of ‘calming down’ (of the physical desire), which only the lover is able to cause. This idea is expressed in Swahili also by other emotional terms, such as kuburudisha ‘to refresh the mind, to chill out, to enjoy’ and burudani ‘entertainment’ (from the same lexical root of baridi ‘cold’), kupona: ‘to recover, to feel better (from kupoa: to cool down’).
