_______________________________________________
AFAIK not used in a sentence.
Not marked as a body part in the booklet. There were two other optics-related words revealed at the qep'a':
Dang focus (v) (qep'a' 2021)
- Make (an image) less blurry; This is used where the subject focuses an object: "I focus my eyes", "I focus the camera", "I was so drunk I couldn't focus my eyes". Objects cannot focus themselves. "My eyes focus" is wrong. (qep'a' 2021)
jo' zoom in on (v) (qep'a' 2021)
- {jo'} is used for "zoom in on" (the object is the image). {jo'Ha'} is "zoom out" (applied to something that was previously zoomed in on). In context, {Sach} "expand, be amplified, be increased in scope" can be used for "be magnified." (qep'a' 2021)

Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey
