Tukebil #487

Open JimGeselbracht opened 6 months ago

JimGeselbracht commented 6 months ago

In Ymesei Ezekiel's 1962 song "Tal Sosoak" he starts with: Tal sosoak kekerei el tukebil. Apparently tukebil is a variation on ekebil which might be a regional word (particular to Ngerchelong?). Or it might be an old word no longer in use. Felix Okabe thought that it might mean "one young lady out of a group of young ladies." Is anyone familiar with this word?

Tukebil, a teenager, young woman.
