<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">We have the {mu'tlhegh meS} for "paragraph".
It just came to me, that perhaps we could say {mu'tlhegh meSmey mIr}
"a chain of paragraphs", and/or {mu'tlhegh meSmey tlhegh} "a line of
paragraphs" in order to express "text" /"passage".
Perhaps we could even say {mu'tlhegh meSmey cho'} "a succession of
paragraphs", or {mu'tlhegh meSmey tlhoQ} "a conglomeration of
paragraphs".
Although I'm not quite sure for the last two, since perhaps the {cho'}
is to be used only for successions of emperors, chancellors, etc, and
as far as the {tlhoQ} is concerned, if I said that I truly understand
the meaning of the english "conglomeration" I'd be lying.
And because I know what someone is perhaps ready to say.. No,
"manuscript" isn't the same as "text" or "passage". At least in greek
it isn't, and here is where the {ghIlth} "manuscript" choice goes out
the window.
Or is "out of the window"? Oh, well..</pre>

<p>In English, <i>manuscript</i> can mean a handwritten text, as
opposed to a typescript, or it can mean any text by an author
prior to publication. I don't think we're told which meaning <b>ghItlh</b>
has.</p>
<p>Lacking a general word for <i>passage of text,</i> I would look
at more specific words for more specific situations. <b>mu'mey,
mu'tlheghmey, paQDI'norgh, ghantoH, HIl'aD, lut, lut 'ay',</b>
and so on.</p>
<p>We usually say <i>out the window.</i> If you say <i>out of the
window,</i> it will sound a bit stilted, but not wrong.<br>
