_______________________________________________

Literally: "the boot wears socks"

(qep’a 2021):  Maltz thought there might be a single word for this, but he could only remember this commonly used idiom. In usage, this might be preceded by something like {ghIH wep} (or {Soy' wep}) "the shirt is sloppy/disheveled” 

Another phrase with {paSlogh}:

(De'vID < MO, 1/22/2016):  {paSlogh} is an inherently plural noun, grammatically singular.  {tu'mI'} the word for one sock.  The usual way to say pair of socks is {paSlogh chang'eng};  {tu'mI' chang'eng} is odd, but if you said it, you'd be understood.

paSlogh		socks (pl. n.)
tuQ		wear (clothes) (v)
