[tlhIngan Hol] [Tlhingan-hol] Liquid Nitrogen

[Ed Bailey]

rugh bIQSIp is also consistent with "N2 composed of N1," since it's
hydrogen made from different subatomic particles, not hydrogen that has
been somehow converted.

An alternative way of saying liquid nitrogen, liquefied that is, like for
industrial use, might be pubHa'bogh voQSIp.
