[tlhIngan Hol] expressing "body parts" {'ay'Du'} or {'ay'mey}

[janSIy .]

I definitely read {porgh mIw} as "bodily function". And while we do often categorize body parts in terms of function we wind up with very different lists when we list bodily functions and body organs.

If you want a generic term for “organ” before Okrand gives us actual vocabulary for it, you might lean towards use of {porgh mIw}, since organs tend to be defined as much for their function as for their location or shape or any other feature.

{porgh mIw peSwI’Du’} ~= “organs”?
