Ngilongat / Bongoh / Polas

Three adjective with the same meaning when it is used with combination of the word "pi'in" (water).

Pi'in Bongoh (pronounce as Pee'in Bo-ngoh) = Hot water
Pi'in Polas (pronounce as Pee'in Po-las) = Hot water
Pi'in Ngilongat (pronounce as Pee'in Ngi-longat) = Hot water

Bongoh alone can be the general words of "hot" can be applied in all conditions when it is hot for example hot day "onu bongoh" or hot body "gonan bongoh"

Polas derived from the words spicy as in Chilli pepper spicyness. Because the hot water is hot just like the spicyness of chilli therefore it is called Pi'in polas.

Ngilongat is understandable as hot water even without the word "pi'in" (water) because it is specically used for hot water.

In daily life the 3 words are being used interchangeably with the word "pi'in" do describe hot water.
