taq  		be scarred (v) 
taqmoH  	scar (v) 

mIvwa'  	scar (result of a wound, regardless of how the wound occurred) (n) 
roptoj  		scar (result of some sort of disease, infection, etc.) (n)

"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'}."
