so, he signed your copy of kgt ? hmm.. interesting.. very interesting.. lieven: Your apparent sarcasm [..]
hahaha meq le'mo' naHQunvaD jIjangmeH mu'meyvam vIghIlthta' because of a specific reason in order to reply to naHQun I wrote these words ben law' puqpu' much tu'lu'; muchvamvaD futurama ponglu'. many years ago there was a cartoon series called futurama 'ej muchvamDaq qoq tlhaq tu'lu'; bender 'oH qoqvam pong'e'. and at that series there was a funny robot called bender. toH much 'ay'vam tu'lu' : so there was this episode : vIbHa'ta' bender juppu'Daj je 'ej new york tIqDaq mev. bender and his friends traveled to the past and went to ancient new york. puH Duj luleghpu'DI', QuQDaj wab DelmeH jatlh *fry* (Human ghaH *fry*'e'): as soon as they saw a car, fry (who was a human), said in order to describe the sound of its engine: ghuvam yI'Ij ! listen to this baby ! DaH, puH Duj Sovbe' bender qoq 'ej meqvammo' Harpu': jonta' qoDDaq ghu' tu'lu' ! now, bender (the robot) didn't know what a car was, so he believed that inside the car's engine there was a baby ! toH ngugh jatlh: hmm.. jonta' qoDDaq ghu' tu'lu' ? hmm.. Daj.. Dajqu'.. so then he said: hmm.. there is a baby in the engine ? hmm.. interesting.. very interesting.. hahaha jatlhta'DI' naHQun: paqwIjDaq ghItlhta' 'oqranD, vIyajbe'.. as soon as naHQun said: 'oqranD wrote in my book, I didn't understand him.. 'ej bender vIqawmo', ngugh jIghItlhta': toH paqlIjDaq ghItlhta' ? hmm.. Daj.. Dajqu'.. and because I remembered bender, I wrote: so he wrote in your book ? hmm.. interesting.. very interesting.. hahaha qunnoq HoD On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at 6:12 PM, Lieven <levinius@gmx.de> wrote:

We asked for "air" as in the stuff around us that can be put into tanks. We got {rewve'} as the common term and {lay} as a technical term. We were not told the difference.
I wouldn't say that so strictly. Mentioning that one does not breath {lay} already is a kind of difference.
It leaves room for intepretation, but also gives a direction. It seems to me like we are surrounded by {rewve'}, and that's what we breathe. Since {lay} is "technical", it's probably used in expressions like "liquid air". You don't breathe that, indeed.
Just my humble opinion, of course.
