'ISqu' ------------------------------------ From: Marc Okrand [...] Sent: Monday, January 02, 2012 5:03:07 AM To: Agnieszka Solska (agnpau1@hotmail.com) Agnieszka -- Happy New Year! It was great seeing you in Germany. I thought the qepHom was a pretty impressive event -- lots of people, lots of interest and enthusiasm. [...] So here are the four -- (1) "flavor" or "taste" (nouns) is wejwa'. (2) "be indirect, be roundabout, be devious" is pIQHa'. So pIQ would be "be direct." (3) For "double agent," Maltz liked the slang expression jey'naS ghoqwI' (literally, "double-headed ax spy"). He said the non-slang term 'o'wen could also be used for "double agent," but its meaning is a bit broader -- it's used to refer to someone (or something) of ambiguous status. As Maltz put it, "You're not quite sure if it's this or that. You think it's one thing, and it may be, but it may be another." (4) "hole" (like a hole in the ground) is QemjIq. This can also be used for the hollow in a tree. qung, the word for "hole in a musical instrument," can't be used for a hole in the ground, but it could be used for a bullet hole or a hole in a shirt (including buttonholes, moth holes, accidental rips, etc.) or a hole in the roof. You can fill (teb) a QemjIq, but not a qung.

I'll keep prodding. [...] - Marc ------------------------------------ SKI 'ISqu' presents more new words recently revealed by Maltz and apologizes for taking a long time to disclose them to the list.
