"Deal with" has some other meanings in English, but based on the other
glosses for {DIgh} and {bam}, I think the "to do something about a
problem or difficult situation" meaning is probably what's intended. While we don't know for sure, until we get further guidance from Maltz, I'd accept using {DIgh} and {bam} for people also:</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">{gharwI' DIgh HoD.} "The captain deals with the diplomat", "The captain is taking care of some issue involving the diplomat."<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">{DaHjaj pInwI' QeH vIbam.} "I'm facing my angry boss today", "I have the prospect of dealing with my angry boss today."<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
