SEE:
rID'oH HIq barley liquor (n) (qepHom 2023)
"[untranslated. It "would be okay" to use that phrase to refer to any barley-based liquor, but doesn't mean it's the only name for it.]" (qepHom 2023)
'ebHIv still (n) (qepHom 2020)

(KGT 95): Domestic {HIq} is distilled from a number of different kinds of grain (tIr), with some additional constituents (of both plant and animal origin, including {'Iw}, blood) adding flavor and strength.
(qepHom 2020): {bewSom} [mash] is a "mixture of ingredients that, after a bit of time, produces fermented {HIq}. Maltz thought that maybe this was shortened from something like {bewSom roghmeH qegh pa'} "vat for fermenting {bewSom} room" or "{bewSom fermenting vat room", but he wasn't sure about that."
