Philip Newton:<br>
&gt; Someone (De&#39;vID jonpIn?) asked Marc Okrand about {DIng} at the qepHom<br>
&gt; wa&#39;maHDIch (2011) in Saarbrücken.</p>
<p>vIghel &#39;e&#39; vIqawbe&#39; &#39;ach pa&#39; jISaHtaHvIS ghellu&#39;.  SaHlaw&#39; je loghaD.</p>
<p>Philip Newton:<br>
&gt; I seem to recall that he agreed that it was intransitive (the spinning<br>
&gt; thing {DIng}s, and the one who spins it {DIngmoH}s it), but am not<br>
&gt; sure whether the answer might not have been the characteristical<br>
&gt; noncommittal instead.</p>
<p>lugh {ghur vay&#39;}, {vay&#39; ghurmoHlu&#39;}, {nup vay&#39;}, {vay&#39; nupmoHlu&#39;} je &#39;e&#39; maqbej MO.  {jIr} rur {DIng} maq je &#39;ach rurchu&#39; &#39;e&#39; maqchu&#39;be&#39;.  Sovchu&#39;meH matlh&#39;e&#39; tlhobnISlaw&#39;.</p>

<p>({matlh&#39;e&#39; tlhobnIS} is apparently an idiom meaning &quot;to be characteristically noncommittal&quot;. {{:-) )</p>
