semantic notes

In the speech of the informants of the Da’rho tribe “gad and ŝérhi are broadly synonymous, although the latter term has been evaluated as slightly more common. This may be at least partly due to the fact that, while both terms can be applied to humans and animals, gad cannot be used about hairy skin (such as that of sheep and goats), only about that of cows and camels.” (Kogan 2015:520)
