bib gamei

Posted on April 11, 2020 by bahasasula_3n5une

‘to bleat’/’moo’
(goat & cow sounds) source: entry from Holle List; unable to verify c. 1900 note: I was unable to verify this Holle list entry, but I can confidently say it does not mean ‘cow sounds’ as bib means goat. My consultants provided bib li ‘bleat’. I suspect gamei is an onomatopoeia, and that bib gamei glosses as ‘goat’s gamei’
