KGT 30: while the verb {ghIH} means "be messy, sloppy" in {ta' Hol} and in most dialects, in the towns near Ruk'evet ({ruq'e'vet}), {ghIH} means "be careless". The more widespread word for "be careless" is {yepHa'}, and this word is used in addition to {ghIH} in the Ruk'evet area. To say "be messy, sloppy", the Ruk'evet inhabitants say {Soy'}, a verb meaning "be clumsy" elsewhere. The Ruk'evet word for "be clumsy" is {jat}, which is phonetically identical to the noun meaning "tongue".
