I was a bit surprised to see {DIj} used with the object being a thing whose
representation was to be drawn on paper.

When I heard {DI'raq yIDIj}, I thought the prince was asking the pilot to
apply paint to a sheep. Actually, wouldn't the object of {DIj} be a pigment
stick, i.e., the command ought to have been something like {DI'raq
DachenmoHmeH rItlh naQ yIDIj}? That can probably be shortened to {DI'raq
yIchenmoH! yIDIj!} and finally just {DI'raq yIDIj!} so it's probably fine.

Did Marc Okrand say anything about the (usual) object of {DIj}?
