I think the difference between them is that one is just an exclamation and cannot be used as a part of a sentence, while the other is essentially a noun that can be used to describe someone, which can be used as a subject, object, etc. and can potentially receive suffixes.

Is an invective word the same with a curse word ?

For example, is there any difference between the {baQa'} and the {QI'yaH} ?

If there is, we don't know what it would be.

Is there any difference between "arsehole" and "dickhead", or "damn it" and "bloody hell"? Not that I know of. They are just words and phrases used to insult or show annoyance/frustration/pain/etc.

What about in Greek? I'm sure there are words that you use as insults to people that aren't taken to mean what the word(s) might literally mean. :)
