<p>I wonder if {DIj} "use a pigment stick" and {DIj} "slide sword blade along opponent's blade" aren't really the same verb, applied to two different contexts? Maybe they're just two instances of a more generic meaning of "slide a stick-like object along another object so as to cause friction", or something like that.</p>

<p>But isn't that exactly what {ghItlh} is for?</p>
