"Hshuma"


Roughly, "shame."

1. Said when Alaina subtracted a point from a student's quiz for cheating; it was said not to the cheating student, but to Alaina for subtracting a point. Yes, different ideas about academic integrity.

2. Said to Andy by my fig man, when Andy reached for a proffered fig with his left hand.

3. Said by me, when, as we were hiking toward town, a young man deliberately slipped in front of me, in order to grope me on the way down.
