(Lieven, 11/16/2014 < qepHom 2014):  And a [computer] mouse is a {'eQway'} (not to be confused, Maltz was quick to point out, with {'eQway} "belly button"). He said that a {'eQway'} does not have a {'eQway}, but that it could have a {leQ} "button" (but more generally "switch") and it usually has two (a {poS leQ} and a {nIH leQ}, "left button" and "right button" respectively). If the {'eQway'} has a wheel, that's a {rutlhHom}. To "click" one of the buttons is to {'uy} "press down" (even though the action is really to press down and then release). To say to "click" on a link, for example, the verb {wIv} "select, choose" is used rather than {'uy}.
