Can I say {wa' jIb}, {cha' jIb}, etc, or does {jIb} mean "all the hairs of the head" ?
{jIbDaj lumeQmoH / qul bIQtIq qulHommey} "Sparks from the fire river / Caught his hair". (paq'batlh, p.86-87)
The prefix {lu-} means that {jIb} is singular. Presumably, the sparks didn't burn a single hair, but rather his hair in general.
