<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:tahoma, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">&gt; I'm trying to figure out how to render the word "train".&nbsp; I imagine some version of<br>&gt; {nom puH Duj vIH}--rapidly moving ground ship--might be in order, but {puH Duj}<br>&gt; is traditionally used to mean "car" among the KLI, and besides doesn't really convey<br>&gt; the appearance or function of a train.<br><br> "Train" as in "locomotive?" The "train" usually refers to the carriages being pulled along behind the actual locomotive itself, so perhaps something like "lupwI' thlegh'a'" (big line of carriages) perhaps?<br><br></div></body></html>
