Updating, for me, means the process of keeping the blade
shiny.
It's a continual process of maintaining the updated thing's
prime condition, but not necessarily making an improvement.
"Update (v)" would be /notlhHa'moH/ in this context, for
me.
Adding new features, on the other hand, is an improvement.
And for this, I use the word "upgrade." An upgraded item
carries features it did not have before, or it performs the
same functions it once did only more efficiently because
its new peak efficiency has been increased.
I can see the case for /rach/ in this case, but also /Dub/
"improve (v)."
Peace,
Alex.
