I thought the qepHom was a pretty impressive<br>event -- lots of people, lots of interest and enthusiasm. <br>[...]<br><br>So here are the four --<br><br>(1) "flavor" or "taste" (nouns) is wejwa'.<br><br>(2) "be indirect, be roundabout, be devious" is pIQHa'. So pIQ would be <br>"be direct."<br><br>(3) For "double agent," Maltz liked the slang expression jey'naS ghoqwI' <br>(literally, "double-headed ax spy"). He said the non-slang term 'o'wen <br>could also be used for "double agent," but its meaning is a bit broader -- <br>it's used to refer to someone (or something) of ambiguous status. As Maltz <br>put it, "You're not quite sure if it's this or that. You think it's one <br>thing, and it may be, but it may be another." <br><br>(4) "hole" (like a hole in the ground) is QemjIq. This can also be used <br>for the hollow in a tree. qung, the word for "hole in a musical instrument," <br>can't be used for a hole in the ground, but it could be used for a bullet <br>hole or a hole in a shirt (including buttonholes, moth holes, accidental <br>rips, etc.) or a hole in the roof. You can fill (teb) a QemjIq, but not <br>a qung. <br> <br>[...]<br><br> - Marc<br><br>------------------------------------<br><br>From: Marc Okrand [...]<br>Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2012 2:38:52 AM<br>To: Agnieszka Solska ([email protected])<br><br><br>Agnieszka --<br><br>Maltz managed to come up with a few more words [...]<br><br><br>ditch (n) is taSman<br><br>be deep (v) is jaQ (so "shallow" would be jaQHa' -- but there may be another <br>word for that he wasn't telling me)<br><br>be straight (v) is wan (so "crooked" or "bent" would be wanHa')<br><br>model, example, pattern (n) is ghantoH (Maltz is assuming this refers to <br>something one copies or refers to in making things -- or something along <br>those lines)<br><br>That's it so far. I'll keep prodding.<br><br>[...]<br><br> - Marc<br><br>------------------------------------<br><br>SKI 'ISqu' presents more new words recently revealed by Maltz <br>and apologizes for taking a long time to disclose them to the list. </div></body>
