[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: nItlh naQ

d.i. the object "painted?"

I wonder if {DIj} "use a pigment stick" and {DIj} "slide sword blade along
opponent's blade" aren't really the same verb, applied to two different
contexts?  Maybe they're just two instances of a more generic meaning of
"slide a stick-like object along another object so as to cause friction",
or something like that.

quljIb:
> I wouldn't use {ghItlh}, as the original meaning is "to carve/inscribe"
such as with Ogham or Norse runes.

But isn't that exactly what {ghItlh} is for?
