Lieven on Facebook (21/01/2010):  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. He had sent this one to reveal the new words at the {qepHom'a'} in Saarbrücken, because the students had asked for them last year. Unfortunately he did not answer all of the questions, but Maltz was quite willing this time.

PUN: 
A picture is worth a thousand (Lat. *millia*) words (Grk. *logos*).
