аџьыкаагара дцеит *

* they went for salt

This phrase was used when someone said that a person had died, but it had to be said in such a way that only those who needed to know would understand. This phrase is used in this way because in the past, salt was a rarity, and to obtain it, one had to go on a voyage that could often end in death. Adjika or adjikhish means salt.

"ашәарыцарахь дцеишьҭи дсымбац , кыр ихьыма ?" "аџыкаагара дцеит." *for example, in front of children, so as not to traumatize them.*
