Interesting the extent to which Irish words can represent both a physical phenomena and a social / human behavior that's metaphorical -- he describes the word for the movement of waves as like the word for how the body moves retching, and a word meaning the inner husk of an ear of corn could also describe a riffle in the center of a stream iirc
