See {yab} "mind, intellect, brain (organ)": (KGT 88): Some of the other commonly eaten parts include ... {QoghIj} ("brain"; another word, {yab}, also means brain as an organ, but in addition it means "mind, intellect" and is not used in reference to food (KGT 149): The verb {Dach} literally means "be absent", but when applied to a person who is obviously present or otherwise accounted for, it is usually interpreted to mean that the person's mind has wandered. It does not mean absent-minded, which involves forgetfulness. Rather, it means that the person is, for whatever reason, not focusing on the task at hand. Nonslang equivalents are {qImHa'} ("not pay attention") and {buSHa'} ("not focus [on], ignore"). targhlIj yab tIn law' no'lI' Hoch yabDu' tIn puS Your targ has a bigger brain than all your ancestors put together!
