BTW, listen to the sound of scissors cutting hair: "chip-chip" :-)
But OTOH the canonical word for "scissors" is {cha''etlh pe'wI'}.
That's a good objection. I think this is one of the stuation where a) Okrand has possibly forgotten about the different words and b) we just have to live with the situation of having two similar words with slightly different meanings. I don't have a problem with that. I understand {chIp} is a special form of {pe'}. -- Lieven L.
