Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: nItlh naQ

&gt; A good question for Maltz:  Does {DIj} take a direct object?  And is that d.i. the object &quot;painted?&quot;  </p>
<p>I wonder if {DIj} &quot;use a pigment stick&quot; and {DIj} &quot;slide sword blade along opponent&#39;s blade&quot; aren&#39;t really the same verb, applied to two different contexts?  Maybe they&#39;re just two instances of a more generic meaning of &quot;slide a stick-like object along another object so as to cause friction&quot;, or something like that.</p>

<p>loghaD:<br>
&gt;&gt; ...or perhaps even &lt;Book of Kells luqonmeH/lughItlhmeH luDIj&gt;?</p>
<p>quljIb:<br>
&gt; I wouldn&#39;t use {ghItlh}, as the original meaning is &quot;to carve/inscribe&quot; such as with Ogham or Norse runes.</p>
<p>But isn&#39;t that exactly what {ghItlh} is for?</p>
