_______________________________________________  

(qurgh & Shelly, 8/01/2017):  During a game of the Hokey Pokey, [Okrand] pointed to his eyelash, thus revealing that {muylIS} is "eyelash". 

(Shelly, 8/07/2017) :  Someone asked in Federation Standard if he meant eyelash and he nodded.

(ghunchu'wI', 8/07/2017):  The lack of a word for eyelashes had been brought up during an earlier brief conversation about hair -- body, head, facial, etc. Even if he hadn't said so explicitly, it would have been obvious that it's what he meant.

PUN: 
 *cilium* (i.e. Latin for eyelash) backwards
