KGT p. 29: Similarly, one needs to be careful in talking about certain articles of clothing. In the First City, and in most places in the Empire, wep means"jacket, coat" and yIvbeH means "tunic"--that is, a shirt or shirt like garment with or without sleeves. In the Vospeg (voSpegh) region, on the other hand,yIvbeH refers only to a sleeveless shirt (thus retaining much of the word's original meaning, a sleeveless protective garment worn by warriors), wep means a shirt with sleeves, and any jacket or coat is a cheSvel, a word that elsewhere refers to a specific style of coat associated with, not surprisingly,the Vospeg region.
