   If e get this word, adding -Ha' can work for "funnel down".

      Walk me through your reasoning.

   For now, I use {potlhmoH}.  In other situations I have used {chuH}.

      potlhmoH means make important. If I am (say) highlighting important passages in a textbook, the information is already important; I'm just indicating that fact.

      chuH doesn't really work either. One can clearly explain a range of information without focusing on anything particular.

   potlhqu'moHlaw' cause to seem to be very important. By using seem I mean to indicate that it seems important to the one doing the emphasizing — it may or may not be important to others — and that the person wishes to make it seem important to others. I use qu' to acknowledge that, while presumably the whole subject is certainly of importance, this item is especially so.
