In September, there was a discussion on Facebook whether it makes sense to say {qul lIng} "produce a fire". Some suggested this word, while others said that if your produce something, there must be a remaining product, so {lIng} might not be the best choice.
Why not? It's possible to {HoS lIng} in canon, and I don't see how fire is less of a product than energy.

You can {lIng} a fire, but you’re more likely to {chenmoH} or {vemmoH} it.
Didn't you already have this conversation back in 2020? -- De'vID
