> Can {mIllogh} serve for this purpose?


Lieven L. Litaer, posting to Facebook group tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI'pu', 1 Dec 2010:

  Finally, someone last year asked for the word for picture. At
  first, Maltz wondered why {nagh beQ} wasn't good enough. But
  then he thought about it some more and said that another word,
  {mIllogh}, could be used for any sort of depiction, including
  drawings, photographs, cartoons, icons on 21st-century computers,
  and so on. [...] You can add to your notes that it was an email
  from Marc Okrand of November 15, 2010.
