As used in canon:
SIQwI' lu'oy'moHmeH juppu'Daj 'oy'naQmey lo' chaH
The Painstik is employed by friends of the recipient... S32
Derived from the verb {SIQ} "endure, bear" (i.e. pain). Cf. also {lopwI'}
"initiate" (lit. "celebrant, one who celebrates"), which also refers to the
person undergoing the Age of Ascension ritual {nentay}:
poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI'
The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors. S9
