bihifor

‘heart’
source: entry from Holle List; unable to verify c. 1900 note: I am quite confident that this Holle list item is an error caused by misunderstanding when pointing to the chest, as I have collected behifor countless times for ‘lungs’, and this is corroborated in phrases like behi dagati ‘hard to breathe’ (literally ‘lung narrow’)
