Re: the honour discussion

{quv} is preferable to {batlh} when you want a verb, and {batlh} is
preferable to {quv} when you want an adverbial. When you really want a
noun, nobody is going to complain much one way or the other about your
choice of word, though I'm inclined to agree with the canon-consistent
theory that {batlh} has the connotation of the quality of honor, and {quv}
has the connotation of personal honor.
