Maybe yes, maybe  no. It's certainly an interesting discussion. KGT only 
says that "To slide the blade of one’s <bat’leth> along the blade of the 
opponent’s weapon is {DIj}."

So -- just like with all the other sword words -- it's not clear what 
the object is. Do I say {betleH vIDIj} or {jIDIjmeH betleH vIlo'}?

When you rotate the beleH, then it's {jIrmoH}, so here it's clear that 
the bat'leth is the object of the verb, but this does not say anything 
about the other verbs. [note to Voragh: do we have any examples for hte 
sword action verbs?]

I liked the comparison to the word ghItlh that does not write the paper, 
it writes the words. It's still possble there's a specific word for 
"make a drawing." -- We'll see.
