ghItlhpu' Felix, jatlh:<br>> One of my favorites is {pom}, meaning "dysentery". Interesting how it's one of the very few medical conditions we have words for!<br><div><br>Coincidentally (or perhaps not), another one is very similar: {poq} "indigestion". (I wonder if there could be a connection with {porgh}?) On that topic, I love the fact that we have a verb for "have a hangover": {'uH}. I used it in my First Contact subtitles with a fair amount of glee.<br><br>I also would like to know, have we ever seen {tu'HomI'raH} in the wild? It seems so foreign as a root, and I'm still a bit baffled as to how it would be used in any way that would be more useful (pardon the pun) than {lI'Ha'}. We only have one other quadrisyllabic root attested AFAIK, and it's transparently a compound: {ro'qegh'Iwchab} "rokeg blood pie".<br><br>QeS<br></div> </div></body>
