pa''el
For someone (agent) to disguise the meaning of one's speech (theme i-), be saying one thing but subtly intending something else.
Disguised speech is used especially when admonishing or advising someone about a matter too delicate to talk of directly. It is also employed to chaff someone; either spoken or sung, using a casual chant, liwliwa.
Adi ma'awātan nan aton di nun'alā'ay an lumiwliwa ti un hay mipa''el di hapītonda.
What the old folks do in casually chanting cannot be understood because the meaning of what they say is disguised.
