Agreed; I think the presence of {chIrgh} in the sentence is sufficient to
show that these aren't everyday entertainment.

If I understand Mormonism correctly, they believe that if you've done the
right things during life, you can become almost divine yourself in the
afterlife. Perhaps {QunHompu'} isn't far from the mark if this is the case.
>Hmm, we have "recently" (adv), but not a "recent" (verb).
Perhaps {chu'} "be new", in the sense that they're "newly" sainted? ter'eS's
use of {DaHjaj} is probably as close as we'll get, although the way I
understand {DaHjaj} is only in its literal sense: "today". {Qup} "be young"
probably isn't the right word. I find it interesting that we do have {tIQ}
"be ancient", but no word for "be modern, be recent".
