Well, not always, anyway; but they might do their best to see that the

So {qI'} is the physical act of actually *signing* the treaty, rather than 
the more abstract act of becoming affected by a treaty? I had leant more 
towards the second definition, and I'd assumed that the actual act of 
signing would be given by "ghItlh".

Let's stick to the TKD definitions and try not to insert our own assumptions here.  It says in the dictionary that "qI'" means "sign."  If you look up "sign" you get "qI'" not "ghItlh."  "ghItlh" is a far more general word.  It can be used for "write" or "marking."
