> KGT 27:  The word {ghab}, however, which refers to any chunk of the midsection of an animal, has slightly varying meanings depending on region. In most of the empire, including the First City, {ghab} is rather inclusive: basically, whatever was chopped off the animal as a single piece, with or without bones or internal organs. In some areas, {ghab} is never applied to a cut of meat lacking bones. Instead, the phrase {ghab tun} (perhaps translatable as fillet, though literally, "soft ghab") is sometimes heard. The same concept would be expressed in most of the Empire, including by speakers of {ta' Hol}, by a longer phrase: {Hom Hutlhbogh ghab} ({ghab} that lacks bone). The expression {ghab tun} would probably not be used by most.

So them "pork bellies" might be rendered as {targh Hom Hutlhbogh ghab}?  
Or in {ta' Hol}. }targh ghab tun}?
