Hang about, I was about to ask a related question, but this seems to answer
it. I was either unaware of this snippet, or had forgotten.
This seems to indicate that *both* {Qep'It} and {ruq} can be used for gas that
exits the mouth *and also* the other end.
So would it be resonable to assume everyone's word-list/dictionary is also
missing the extra definition word(s) that cover expelling gas from said other
end?
