The Hebrew and Greek that is typically translated as «covet» in English is translated as «bulge your eyes over what is someone else’s» in Isthmus Zapotec (source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.), in Bura-Pabir with ngguka or «have strong desire for» which differentiates from silka or «jealous,» which refers not to one’s jealous attitude to one’s neighbor (source: Andy Warren-Rothlin), and in Newari´as «cause your eye to go to» (source: Newari Back Translation).

See also greed / covetousness.
