Hotlh           project,  put on (screen) (v)
  - yIHotlh  "Put him on the screen!" (TKD)

Has the two meanings of {Hotlh} ever been explained? Are they shades of the same word? Homophones which might be confusing? If I give the order {yIHotlh!}, am I expecting the target to both be scanned and displayed on screen?
