[tlhIngan Hol] Expressing "painted with his blood"

[Jeffrey Clark]

There is also the question of the appropriate word for creating a map. Is a map “drawn”? Or is it “written”? 

We see a similar issue concerning pictographic writing systems as to the correct verb. I’m reminded of the Byzantine Orthodox practice that holds that their iconography is a writing, an not drawing, and that icons are not drawings nor art. One “writes” and icon.

Similarly, since a map is made to convey specific spatial-locative information, rather than being some type of artistic depiction, one could argue that the map is ghItlh.

> It's necessary if they're completed actions. If you're looking back on the situation and describing it as if it's already happened, then the perfective is necessary. If you're describing it as if you're in the middle of the action, you cannot use perfective. Either could be used here, depending on things like whether the teller is trying to set the stage for a story or simply relate past facts.
