HQ 12.4 p.8:  If {tlhepQe'} "saliva" is produced, one is said to {tIl} "salivate".  If the {tlhepQe'} involuntarily escapes one's lips and dribbles down one's chin, one is said to {bol} "drool".  To intentionally eject the {tlhepQe'} from one's mouth is to {tuy'} "spit".  Maltz pointed out that a similar verb, {tlhIS} "spit out", is used to refer to spitting out things other than saliva, such as parts of food that are not swallowed or teeth.
