If we want to say that someone "is listening music", then what do we use ? {'Ij} or {Qoy} ? Or both ?
I don't think we know this one either, but Okrand makes a distinction between the verbs in TKW: The verb *Qoy* means "hear," not just "listen." One must actually perceive and understand that which is being said. This doesn't tell whether one does *Qoy* or *'Ij* to music, but it implies that one can *'Ij* without actually*Qoy*-ing anything. *'Ij* seems to be the active attempt to detect sound; *Qoy* is the passive fact that sound has been detected. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
