doesn't
work like that? Like, it can be used a verb (unlike
kamen
, which is specifically a noun) that just means to disguise or conceal something, so I'm not really seeing how it's any less broad.
I'm not some language expert, granted, but I'm pretty sure both of these words actually do work almost exactly the same way.
You are correct that it can be used in a similar broad sense, but it also refers to very specific type of face covering and that is what people seem to be getting hung up on instead of excepting that it just means mask in a very broad sense.
