'oj jIH doesn't make sense.  You mean jI'oj, don't you?  Well, which sounds
more idiomatic and natural in English?  "I'm thirsty" or "I want a
beverage"?  I'd say the former.

>and, in the same vein:

>ghung jIH  or  Soj vIneH ?

Ditto (jIghung).  "I am hungry" sounds much more normal than "I want food."
'Sides, if you don't use "jIghung", then what's the use of the verb ghung
in the first place?

Sorry if this is old news, my email has been out of commission for most of
this past week.
