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.
During our preparation for the coming qepHom, Marc Okrand had a chance to forward our question to Maltz, and his answer somehow made both our suggestions be right. He wrote:
You can {lIng} a fire, but you’re more likely to {chenmoH} or {vemmoH} it.
Odd that this was a question at all, since we already knew you can *qul chu'* /light the fire./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
