[Tlhingan-hol] Looking and Seeing

[Robyn Stewart]

There's also bej, but yes there are some gaps there for glancing at things.
In nuq bop bom I found myself saying things like:

 

qaStaHvIS lup tlhaq bej.

mangghom bej ghIq bejbe'choH.

nom nuH legh.

poS mInDu'Daj 'ach leghbe'law'.

>>> 

In English, we sometimes emphasize the perfective aspect of
perception with semantic games: "You're looking at it, but you don't see
it," or, "You saw it, but you didn't look at it."

<<< 

To my mind, "see" is viewing with comprehension, while "look" does not imply
any recognition (although it may be present).

As far as I know, we only have {legh} and perhaps {tu'} to work with ...
{nej} and {Sam} have different meanings entirely.

 

bIlegh 'ach bIyajchu'be'
