  It is a rhetorical question used as a title.
  I used {'Iv} = "how?": sorry if my word list had a mistype in.
  I used {-lu'} because the `Kahless' book said he got a smith to make it
instead of making it himself.

  I wanted a word for "throw" without preposition, but I could not find one.

  TKD says that {tlhuD} = "emit (energy / radiation / etc)". Can it be used
for ejecting material objects?

  In TKD {ja'chuq} = "to discuss": "It is the geologists' business that this
strange idea is discussed".
