apes, pm. Within (implying a non-hollow container).

usage: apes is preferred over tsoines when talking about a figurative container (such as one's amelía), a state of being (such as resekhtía), or a space defined by formal agreement rather than physical truths (such as a mitradzhu but not a mokamela). Its usage emphasizes a state of mind, concept, or experience rather than a physical placement. Consequently, tsoines is more prevalent with inanimate physical objects, and occasionally the semantic distinction between apes and tsoines is used as a rallying cry for patriotism.
