Observations
The Boie'nen words seem to have interesting relationships between their literal and figurative meanings. The use of body parts (like "ke'ke" for chin) in idiomatic expressions (like "nainge'ke'an") is notable and characteristic of the language. Further research into the language's idiomatic expressions, metaphors, and cultural context would provide valuable insights.
