RE: KLBC: Hoch DaHjaj mu'mey vIwaH.



This is an interesting question. Given the way that composers "record" tunes
that somehow are floating around, waiting to be discovered, I'd suspect that
the verbs {Heng} {pang}, {yach}, etc. would have as their direct objects the
affected parts of the appropriate musical instrument and that the musical
note merely {qaS}. Perhaps {jIbomchoH. 'egh vIqaSmoH.}

We have some specific words for play music:  Heng, pang, yach, etc.  Do you
think one of these words is appropriate for playing a "note" of music?
