KLCP:

Level 1
Notes

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.
