My understanding is that this is just saying that {pob} isn't limited to Klingons (or humanoids). So I think I would phrase your sentence in the other direction: "{veD} is how you would describe the {pob} on the body of the animal".
The main reason for this entry was to say that animals do not have {jIb}, they have {pob}. In English, "hair" can refer to both hair in an animal's fur and also to what people have on their head. In Klingon, it is clearly defined as hair on body. So actually, this is not really new information, just a clarification, but it lead to the new word for "whiskers", which at least in German is also considered "hair", but in Klingon it's {pu'veng}. ---- In usage, you can now safely say {chatlhwIjDaq pob tu'lu'} "there's a hair in my soup" and it's clear that this is not a human head hair. On the other hand, {vIghro' jIb} would create a very weird image. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/AliceInWonderland
