Re: HIv (RE: KLBC: Proverbs)

DloraH:
: p48
: .. yot, "invade"; weH, "raid" [same as yot, really, but with the
: added connotation of surprise or speed]; ... weHwI'
: HIv is still just plain 'ol "attack, assault"
bIlughba'. I obviously misread my AKD entry for {HIv} in my haste:
{HIv} attack, assault KGT (v.) ["Verb, to engage with violent force."
(STC KL)] (cf. {weH} "raid" ["same as {yot} ["invade"], really, but
with the added connotation of surprise or speed" [KGT 48] & maybe
{jev} "storm"?)
I must have been focussing on the added KGT gloss "assault" and lost track
of all my nested brackets in my cross reference.
