(MO to Lieven, 1/09/2012):  "Regarding plumber - It turns out there is a special word for water pipe (not what you use for smoking - the kind that carries water from place to place): {qatlhDa'}.  Though one could say {qatlhDa' mutlhwI'} and be understood, the normal way to refer to someone putting in pipes (for water or anything else) is {'och mutlhwI'}.

mutlh  			construct, assemble, put together, manufacture (v) (qepHom 2016)
