 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.
