Heather asked about hovel.

I saw just this morning a story on the Nuus24 website in Afrikaans about the
"hawelose" man who jumped over the fence at the White House. I take that to
mean he was "hovel-less" meaning homeless. If you'd like to see it the
opening paragraph is: Washington – ‘n Hawelose man het ‘n groot oproer by
die Withuis veroorsaak toe hy hier oor ‘n heining gespring het en ‘n
sekerheidsalarm laat afgaan het.
