Re: Long lanes and empty trash barrels



ja' DujHoD:
>Why not use {qegh} rather than {ngaSwI'} in the literal translation?

Because {qegh} specifically refers to a vat used for storing liquor, and
whatever an "ash barrel" is, it doesn't sound like a {qegh} to me.  If I
understand it as "trash barrel", {qegh} is certainly not appropriate.
