LANGUAGE NOTES:
(ghunchu'wI', 7/16/2012): I once ordered {bIQ neH} to drink at a restaurant. Marc Okrand, sitting across the table from me, suggested that I really meant {bIQ mob}. That would have been proper if I were not having anything else. As I did intend to order food as well, however, my usage was correct. I wanted 'mere water' as opposed to 'water alone'."
(Lieven, qepHom 2017, 11/2017): An odd number is {mI' mob}. An even number is {mI' mobHa'}.
PUN: "mob"
