I get the idea that {gheD} is something you hunt after.  Even if you don't 
get all of what you are hunting for in one day (DaHjaj gheD), you are still 
attempting to capture the prey eventually.  My father has a story about a big 
trout that eluded him for five years before he finally hooked it.  He spoke 
of it as an "elusive prey."

BTW, when he finally cooked that fish, he was so disappointed that the fight 
was over.
