No, but apparently {tlhagh} can refer to either the solid or liquid form:
If heat is used as part of food preparation, the cook is most likely to
{mIQ} (deep-fry) the food. This involves first acquiring {tlhagh} (animal
fat) from any available source and then heating it up so that it boils
(the general word for "boil" is {pub}, but the verb used specifically to
refer to the boiling of fat is {'Im} ["render"]). After it has been
boiling for a while, the food to be fried is tossed in (sometimes having
been coated in some kind of paste), and it stays there until it has soaked
up as much of the {tlhagh} (fat) as possible. A particularly popular dish,
{tlhombuS}, requires that the cook coat a block of {tlhagh} with a mixture
of {ngat} (herbed granulated cartilage) and {tIr} (grain) and then briefly
immerse the block into the already boiling fat, just until the coating
hardens. (KGT 93)
