<div dir="ltr">{lIl}, is it now? This just keeps getting more eye-bonking... I suppose it has to be ell eye ell, but still eye-bonking.

</span>Can I infer from this that you would also use {lIl} to refer to dressing<br>
as someone or something for e.g. Halloween, i.e. {targh vIlIl} "I'm<br>
going as a targ"? Or would you need to say something like {targh jIH 'e'<br>
vIghet}? What about an actor in a play?<br>
<br>
Also, where is the boundary between {lIl} and {Da}?<br>
