   So if you have a scar that you got in a fight, that could be either a 
   {mIvwa'} or a {SanDIy}. If you don't know whether someone's scar
   resulted from a wound or a disease, it's probably safest to go with
   {mIvwa'}. If the person's scar is actually a {SanDIy}, he/she will, under
   most circumstances, clarify this for you. If it's a {roptoj}, he/she may
   let the "misdiagnosis" slide since, as we all know, {ropchoHbe'
   tlhInganpu'}.
