Here are some examples.

Zorna : big basket
Kratta: normal basket
Hafa: pot
Hag: fence
Hagga: bull
Wadel: tail
Buzzeli: baby
Zinka: nose
Beig: heap of wood
Hes: clothes
schira: put wood on a fire
triala: when a hildren eats, some food don`t find the way to the mouth
motza: little children play with dirt and water

Have anyone an explanation for these words.
