*{HaH'eghmoH pa'}?
The verb {HaH} [...] is now often used in the more general sense
of "soak, drench". It is frequently heard in the reflexive form
({HaH'egh} "soak oneself") in reference to such activities as
drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and bathing,
an occasional undertaking with negative connotations. (KGT 91)
or even *{bIQpa'}??
The negative associations with water might also be seen when Worf
remarked to Counselor Deanna Troi, "Swimming is too much like bathing."
(TKW 35)
or even more negatively *{'Ibpa'}???
A square or rectangular tub used to hold food while it is fermenting
is called a {'Ib} (KGT 97)
