Dressing in ea-luna:
garment, article of clothing  -- wega
sock(s) -- kibu*
underwear -- gukiwega**
bra (lit. "harness"***) -- wuba
jacket -- medi
necktie -- mita
pants -- miki
dress -- kewi
skirt, kilt -- latukewi ("half dress")
shoe(s) -- ke*

* The plural marker has been dropped these days (with certain
exceptions), but you can say "kibule" and "kele". "kele" also means
"less" (meaning "a smaller amount of", as in "less sulphur, please").
Context is everything in ea-luna. :)

** lit. "secret garment" -- Ea-diwe seem to have the interesting
tendency that I have noticed among certain people I know-- being more
embarrassed to be seen in underwear than to be seen naked. Nudity is
pretty commonplace, no big deal.

*** I actually have notes scribbled around trying to come up with a good
word for "bra". I decided in the end to use "wuba", which is kind of
cute, since the word for breast is "wabu". (There was no way I was going
to call it a "wabuwuba".)
