<p>QeS &#39;utlh:<br>
&gt; &quot;Finally, someone last year asked for the word for &quot;picture.&quot; At first, Maltz<br>
&gt; wondered why {nagh beQ} wasn&#39;t good enough. But then he thought about it some<br>
&gt; more and said that another word, {mIllogh}, could be used for any sort of<br>
&gt; depiction, including drawings, photographs, cartoons, icons on 21st-century<br>
&gt; computers, and so on.&quot; (Posting to Facebook group {tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI&#39;pu&#39;},<br>
&gt; 1 Dec 2010)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; ghaytan jabbI&#39;ID ghItlhlu&#39;pu&#39;bogh &#39;oH, &#39;ach jISovchu&#39;be&#39; jIH. &#39;a tugh QIn mung<br>
&gt; muQIj Quvar &#39;e&#39; jatlh ghaH, vaj QIjDI&#39; Saja&#39;.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; mu&#39;vam qIDHey ghov &#39;Iv? {{:)</p>
<p>I found this old message while searching for the source of {mIllogh}.  The pun is obvious, at least to me.</p>
<p>In French (and other Latin-descended languages), &quot;mille&quot; means &quot;thousand&quot;.</p>
<p>In Persian (and some other Central Asian languages), &quot;loghat&quot; (لغت) means &quot;word&quot;.</p>
<p>Does MO know any Middle Eastern or Central Asian language?  This and {tlhIm} suggests that he does, or at least knows a few words.  (I suppose it would not be too difficult for a linguist, or anyone really, to look up words in a dictionary in another language.)</p>
