I started re-reading sections of KGT and I came across another
instance of {-Du'} on non-body-parts. It's page 80-ish in the
section on arts. The ends of the pigment sticks are called
{nItlhpachDu'}, even though they are not body parts. However,
this seems to be an example of artists' {tlhach mu'mey} and
can't be generalized. I can't tell from that section whether
the {-Du'} is an exception or a rule.
