_______________________________________________

(qep'a' 2019):  "in the sense of involvement in, exposure to, familiarity with, hands-on dealing with a given area of knowledge or type of skill" 

(~mark re Dahar Master [DATE?]):  I think Okrand didn't mean {pIn'a'} for Master in this sense... one who is knowledgeable in a field. He mentioned once, I think, that he's looking for a better term for this meaning.

CULTURAL NOTES:
(KGT 207):  there are some words that simply do not translate. One must resort to descriptions rather than simple one- or two-word translations, and one must be a quite facile in the language and knowledgeable of the culture to understand the concepts. 

(KGT 90f):  All but the least experienced cooks have {chanDoq} (marinade) prepared well in advance of a meal, keeping a large container of the brew around at all times and constantly adding new ingredients to it as they become available.
