Is {malja' Huq} actually an idiom? I know it was used in one of the audio
tapes ({batlh malja' DaHuq} "You transact business honorably"), but isn't
an idiom something that isn't obvious from the literal translation? (e.g.,
the idiom {buy' ngop} literally is "the plates are full", but means "good
news")
