(bad behaviour, taking a woman is shameful. Falling down isn't shameful, just bad thoughts. Being sick isn't shameful, there will just be sorry, confession will make it better. Being naked is shameful, like if they're washing. If someone is off urinating and a woman comes it'll be embarrassing, guys coming isn't a problem. Being naked, speaking bad things will be shameful. hobol yot is talking badly about someone sigig hobol is a super hard insult like you've got a vagina - to a guy)

(if your kid steals will you be embarrassed as a parent? Yes, we'll be sorry and ashamed. What about your brother? Yes that would be shameful and we'd want to make it wanbel and finish the hevi.) (what about if a guy steals but no one sees him, will he feel ashamed? If it's hidden he'll get sick, then it'll be clear. He'll confess and be ashamed then, if he confesses he'll get better, if not he'll die.) (what about if a guy steals a small thing, like a single banana? Will he get sick? Sometimes the hevi will come, sometimes not, we're not sure. ) (if you guys go to town in dirty clothes with holes will you feel ashamed? yes we will. We put on our best clothes when we go to town, we wash and put our best on. It's also that we're black and people who see that we're bush people will target us for theft, so we look our best to not seem so bushy.)
