{QIch} is "speech (vocal sounds)".
IMHO, the gloss implies that it refers to the ability to speak; as sight is
the ability to see.
Humans have speech. Plants are mute.
Humans have sight. Plants are blind.
Whereas, {SoQ} is an oration made by somebody at a lecture or qep'a'.

jen!
tlhIngan mu'tay' vIpojqa'ba'.
nuq 'oS *QIch*?
What does QIch mean?
It's translation is "speech", and we also have
speech as "lecture, address" which is SoQ.
Is now {QIch} also a "speech" something spoken by a person at a wedding, for
instance, or is this word used linguistically, i.e. the way to prounounce
things?
A conon phrase would help a lot already!
Greetz,
Quvar.
