Isn't {tlhIlHal} given as "mine (noun)"? Why not {bIQ tlhIlHal}?
I think the word was used for "(dilithium) mine" in CK. >>
This is for all of you regarding the discussion of bIQ Hal vs. bIQ tlhIl:
Please look at TKD p87 {Hal} means "source." I originally suggested this
word; but I ran it together as a compound noun after the fashion of tlhIlHal,
resulting in bIQHal.
