naˁámer be-saḳɔ́ṭri deʰ di-ṣáme ľázem ḥóuraṭ yeˁúḳaḷ meʸh éˀed ŝíˀimhiľ ḷe-gέhɛ wa-róukob ˁes di-ˀíˀimhɛḷ ‘When someone dies, he must be prepared for burial — as we say it in Soqotri, ḥóuraṭ. His left hand is placed on his chest, then the right hand is placed over it’ (CSOL I 17:33)

gέhɛ is the neutral term for ‘breast’ as the frontal part of the upper torso: érem díˀʸheʰ ḷe-gέhɛ ŝef di-délaḳ ‘There was much hair on his breast’. This term is opposed to tódi, which is applied to female breasts only: mébrehe ḳéyhɛn yeˁódeg tódi díˀʸheʰ di-bíyoʰ ‘A little baby sucks from the breast of his mother’ (Kogan 2015:490).
