mIS does mean “be in a state of perplexity.” “Be mixed up” is an English idiom that means exactly that.

jImIS

I am confused; I am mixed up; I am in a state of perplexity

Subject: [tlhIngan Hol] Confuse me workaround

Since {mIS} means "mixed up", and not "be in a state of perplexity", the need arises (at least it did for me quite some time ago), to express the "to be confused".

luckily, today at another thread the wonderful workaround appeared in my mind; {mutlhoDmoH whatever}. maj ! another problem solved.. one less thing to worry about.
