      Usage notes

      In standardised Rumantsch Grischun, mangiar is used for people eating and magliar for animals eating. When applied to people magliar means eating badly (eating like a pig). Some of the Romansh idioms do not make this distinction (especially Sursilvan) and magliar is the usual term for human beings.
