I wouldn't consider them opposites. They talk about two different things with some conceptual overlap. A tunnel could have a *DIn* at each *qa'rI'*, for instance. And that tunnel could have a *DIn* in the middle (like a T-intersection) and not at a *qa'rI'*. On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 12:36 PM mayqel qunen'oS <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote:
DIn (n) "open entryway (to corridor, tunnel, conduit, jeffries tube, branch of sewer)"
qa'rI' (n) "end (of corridor, tunnel, conduit, jeffries tube, sewer, road, bridge, long field, etc)"
Would you (yes *you*, you who are reading this), consider that DIn (n) is the opposite of qa'rI' (n) ?
Because, seemingly/apparently, DIn (n) has to do *only* with enclosed spaces, whereas qa'rI' (n) refers to open spaces as well.
