Without knowing the correct answer (if there is one to start with..), I would choose tIq.
I would also prefer tIq over nI', but it might certainly be possible there's another word for that. The word {tIq} makes me think of something that is somehow longer than wide, such as a rope or a stick.
I think it depends on the specific text. For things which are transcribed speech, like {bom mu'} or {SoQ ghItlh} or even {lut}, I would use {nI'}. The word {tIq} seems to describe something physically larger in one dimension than others. If you told me {tIq paq}, I'd imagine a book with the dimensions of one of those wine list booklets from a fancy restaurant. For a {tetlh} or {Qumran}, {tIq} might be appropriate. (If you use {tIq} for a recipe, it might get confused with the body part.) -- De'vID
