sahÄλa
one’s neck, between one’s head (sÅlle) and one’s shoulders (sañÄma).
David and I were discussing the definition of sÅlle as ‘one’s head, everything from the neck up’ and wondering if it included the neck or not. This definition of neck implies not. I suspect this is something KÄ“leni speakers debate, too.
Unfortunately, this still doesn’t settle matters in English. We’ll have to write to the Director of the English Language…
