DINGA' : double; twins of different sexes
Kao dinga' i dos chume'lo? Are the two siblings twins?
Kalan dingå'-mo gue'! S/he is like your twin!
Atan na mamaila' mågi i dos dinga'. Look at the two twins coming here.
Dinga' i pachot-ña. His/her mouth is double. Untruthful, a liar.
Dinga' i korason-ña. His/her heart is double. A traitor, disloyal.
Dinga' i matå-ña. His/her face is double (two-faced). A hypocrite, fake.
Dinga' chålan. Crossroads.
Repåra! Notice!
Twins of the same gender are called gihen. But this term has been lost in modern times.
When speaking about a matching pair, of shoes, or candlesticks and the like, one can ask "Mångge i dingå'-ña?" "Where is its twin?" In other words, the other shoe, or candlestick.
