  You are nervous. (KLS)

 

 bIt; tI'qa' vIghro' rur
  nervous as a tika cat  (KGT)

jot                   be calm (v)
jotchoH          calm down (v)


 yIjotchoH

 bIboH. yIjotchoH
  You're impatient. Calm down! (KGT)

 

(KGT 42):  the normal way to describe bland food is to call it {tlhorghHa'} (not pungent). In the past, the word {jot} was used in this sense, though now its meaning has changed to “be calm”. An upper-class diner will, from time to time, still describe food as {jot} … Among the lower classes—except for those working as servants for the higher classes—words … like {jot} … are used only in their modern senses.

jotHa'             be uneasy (v)


  AFAIK never used.

I like these two options.

 

But is there any difference between {bIt} and {jotHa'}, or can we use them interchangeably ?
