Each of these pages lists a word as built from it, spelled a little differently from this one — a different tone mark, or an underdot this word doesn't have.

Writing that word up on Wiktionary settles it. How to help.
sapáverb
“sapá” lists “ìsapá” as a word built from it. No word here is spelled that way, so this page was matched to it by ignoring underdots. It may be a misspelling, or “ìsapá” may be a word nobody has written up yet.
