Note Okrand's comment on {nevDagh} "type of pot with handles (used
for food preparation)" in KGT:
KGT 97: The smaller {nevDagh} is characterized by its V-shaped
handles, termed {DeSqIvDu'} ("elbows"; note the {-Du'}, the plural
suffix for body parts is used here even though the handles are not
literally body parts).
