English "mow" is limited to only cutting grass, grain, etc. I'm in the camp that believes Klingon {chIp} is limited to only cutting hair. However, in English, it is not uncommon to hear one say that they are "giving the lawn a haircut". Though this is usually said to, or by, small children to help explain the activity. So, being an English speaker, I would understand what's going on. But I wouldn't accept it as standard usage in either language. Back to the original question, I'd be fine with {magh pe'wI'}. ~naHQun
