qatlh qay'? "liquid" jatlhlaHbe'meH mIwmey vISov vIneHbe'; jatlhlaHmeH

I don't want to know the ways I'm *not* able to say "liquid", and I do want
to know the ways I am able to say it. I'm certainly able to say {Subbe'; bIQ
rur}, but if I don't communicate what I want to communicate, I'm still not
able to translate "liquid".
