Introduces in KGT [p. 75]:

   Wind instruments (there is no overall term for them) range from
   the simple flute or fife ({Dov'agh}), generally crafted from a
   bone, to the highly complex {meSchuS}. This is a very large
   instrument, not at all easily moved from place to place, which
   consists of a network of interlocking tubes. One tube terminates
   in the mouthpiece ({ngujlep}) into which the player blows ({SuS}).
   The instrument's pitch and timbre are modified by fingering
   strategically placed holes in the tubing and by moving the hands
   in various ways (to move the fingers in this way is to {Heng}).
