(qep’a’ 2019):   For random numbers, as when throwing dice, use the verb {'al} "float" instead of {Haw}.  {mI' 'al} "(a) random number";  {'al mI'} "the number is random".  There is also a slang expression {Du'Hom mI'} "random number" (literally "garden number"). 

SEE ALSO:
SuD 			gamble, take a chance (v)
Haw  			be random, arbitrary, unpredictable, fortuitous (v)
ronmoH 		[cause to] roll (v)
jaD 			throw around, hurl about (v)
ngeQ 			bump into, collide with (v)
vIH 			move, be in motion (v)

DATA: 	There is a certain degree of random fortune involved. I believe that is why they call it "gambling".  [TNG "The Royale" about a game of "craps"]
