Ah well, I'll think of something.

Maybe...geez, doesn't this Hol maw' have any word for "hole"? Or even
"crater" itself, that's sort of a space-related word...

I'll use nagh Qed for now.

Maybe I'll just have to rewrite the sentence that mentions stool...(it's
only one or two lines anyway.) Maybe I can use a phrase involving "luH 'eS
mej..." But nothing for larva? gharghHom Qup? ghargh ghu? (The larva in
question is the larval stage for a worm of some sort.)

That'll do, I guess.

Just a few more things that came up and I'll let you be...
Would "yuQ yor" work to mean "North"? I thought of an expression with "Dung"
but that sounds wrong. And can a locative or -vo' expression just stand by
itself to indicate position?)
And now with the words, ret and pIq, can we do tenses in a sentence?
