sahāla
Literally, one’s front, used to describe one’s chest or breast, everything above the belly. This word is related to the locative modifier hāl which refers to the front of a reference point. The phrase sahāla jatāonte means a swelled chest, referring to someone puffed up with self-admiration or pride, like the look-at-me displays of certain mating animals.
…like the look-at-me displays of certain mating animals.
Like humans?
Well, duh. Of course. 🙂
