Make war! KGT
KGT 47: Similarly, there are several verbs for fight, battle, and the like. Most broadly, do battle or wage war - that is, actually engage in a conflict in which a number of combatants are involved - is {ghob}. The notion of make war in the general sense, referring to the idea of war and not a specific war, is {Qoj}. The verb for fight, whether in a war or a one-on-one confrontation, is {Suv}. In short, the nouns {veS} (war, warfare) and {vIq} (combat) and the verb {Qoj} (wage war) all are used to refer to the ideas of warfare, combat, and making war, while the nouns {noH} (war) and {may'} (battle) and the verbs {ghob} (make war, do battle) and {Suv} (fight) are used when referring to specific, concrete instances of war, battle, and fighting.
