Could one say &lt;jIrIQlI&#39;&gt; if one is convinced the injury will pass, or would that imply that the injury was intentionally inflicted (&quot;I&#39;m tempering my body to become a strlnger warrior.&quot; / &quot;Terran bachelor parties are all about pranks and strippers.

Like if someone stabbed you, and you could feel the point of the blade cut into you, but at that moment you know your attacker is still pushing the blade deeper. Or if someone were breaking your arm, and you could feel the bone fracture, but it hasn&#39;t yet snapped. That&#39;s what I&#39;d think if I heard you say &lt;jIrIQlI&#39;&gt;.</div>
