Lessoon Kiare Feed: Goll Noon as Noal
Lesson Eighty: Going Backwards and Forwards
kiare feed (kayr-feed) - eighty ('four twenties')
noon as noal (NOON-azz-NAWL) - backwards and forwards
A more exact translation of 'noon as noal' is 'to and fro'.
'noon' means 'over' in the sense of going away from the speaker,
'noal' means 'over' if the motion is towards the speaker from 'over there'.
