Never used in canon.

Cf. also the general nouns {nagh} "rock, stone" and {qut} 
"crystal".  Specific types of minerals and mined crystals include {beqpuj} 
bekpuj, {toplIn} topaline and {cha'pujqut} dilithium crystal.


>Homonyms:
>     tlhIl (verb) - mine

See also {tlhIlHal} "a mine":

   cha'puj tlhIlHal vISuch vIneH
   I want to visit the dilithium mines. CK

   tlhIlHal yIngev!
   Sell the mine! KGT

   tlhIlHal yIngIv!
   Patrol the mine! KGT

A {tlhIlwI'} is a "miner".
