Poswa: rilipom from rilip "finished, complete" (but taken to mean "end, finality") + -m "affected by"
Pabappa: possibly pubapsam, from more or less the same construction, but I'm not sure it's a good translation because the sense of completion here is more like "success, putting a problem behind you"
