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 might be a characteristic of the language. Further research into the language's idiomatic expressions, metaphors, and cultural context could provide valuable insights.
