_______________________________________________

(TLP):  This is not a literal translation for such an animal, but Maltz suggested this word, because he knows it for a flying insect with largish wings.

SEE:
ghew 			bug, insect (n)

'ughDuq ghargh  	caterpillar (n) 
  - (TLP):  Maltz said this is a little squirmy thing that somehow turns into a {Su'wan ghew}.  The {'ughDuq ghargh} is not used to prepare {qagh}, by the way.

PUN: 
"An UGly DUCKling becomes a SWAN."  (Michael Kunin)
