pIm vuDwIj. I only "get soaked" in the shower if I try to use it as a substitute for soaking in a hot bath. That uses too much water, though. If I'm just cleaning myself, I certainly get *wet*, but I don't get *soaked*. I believe that the original meaning of "marinate", along with the expanded "soak", refers to putting something in a tub full of liquid and letting it sit there for a while. KGT gives "bathing" as an example of {HaH'egh}, and I don't believe "showering" matches the idea. I embrace Worf's comment about swimming; it supports my opinion. None of the given meanings of {HaH} seems right for pouring or splashing liquid over something. -- ghunchu'wI'
