Alikbey describes the manner of wearing a covering over the shoulders and back, regardless of the material. Thus, even a tameng (blanket) may be inalikbey when used as a shoulder wrap. This differs from koromon, which denotes a blanket or similar covering used to envelop most or all of the body, especially while resting or sleeping. This nicely demonstrates an important feature of Boie’nen semantics: the verb classifies the configuration or manner of use, not merely the object itself. A tameng can become an alikbey in function when it is worn over the shoulders, while it remains a koromon when used to cover the entire body. This is another example of the language’s fine-grained lexical distinctions based on functional use rather than simply object identity.
