Source: qep'a' 25 [2018]
_______________________________________________
AFAIK never used in a sentence.
(Lieven, 9/01/2018): This is not canon, and just my opinion, but I suppose that {'aplo'} refers to some kind of container, box, (something smaller) or so, while a chest {DerlIq} is more a thing made of wood, or it's larger.
(Lieven, qepHom 2018): "[{HaS} "squeak"] is not only for animals. It can also be used for the sound an old door or a wooden chest does when you open it, if it's a sort of high pitch.
(Lieven < MO, 9/03/2018): I hope all of this doesn't cause any problems or delays for The Little Prince (and I also hope that I haven't opened up Pandora's {DerlIq}).
Lieven, how did you use it in {ta’puq mach}?
