"Sand" does occur once in the paq'batlh ({ghobchuq loDnI'pu'}, 2nd verse): SuvtaH SuvtaH qamDu'chaj bIngDaq letchoH lam nagh rur They fought on and on, The sand beneath their feet Turned hard as rock Here, Okand used {lam} "dirt" -- which may be a more general term than in English. As far as I can tell, it's the only example of {lam} in the paq'batlh. -- Voragh On Behalf Of SuStel On 3/21/2017 1:56 PM, Jeremy Silver wrote: I too have been having trouble finding a good way to express sand and ash and bribe for example.
