I never questioned before that {bIQDep} is a combination of {bIQ} "water" and
{Dep} "being (nonhumanoid)" (TKD p 84). If this is correct, MO will
eventually give us the terms for other nonhumanoid beings. Perhaps Maltz just
has not yet told us about {muDDep} and/or {chalDep} or {loghDep}. What if
there are {wutlhDep}?
