In my notes for {qung}, I wrote that this refers to a hole used to
change pitch in a wind instrument, but apparently not to a soundhole
for a stringed instrument. The note is annotated HQ 10.2, so I
presume that's where it comes from, but I don't have that issue any
more so I can't check.
In any case, does {QemjIq} work then for a soundhole of a stringed instrument?
