What do other languages do? I don't remember ice being used this way in Japanese.
In daily language in german, when people say they go "eat ice" it is always clear they mean "ice cream, made of milk". But usually it refers to frozen water only. There is also the expression "dry ice", but nothing else. About the other quetion of the Klingon definition of chuch: it was created in relation with rura pente, and one should assume they talk about frozen water there. I doubt that Klingons would know what {chuch QaD} is, but as a Terran reader, I certainly accept it. By the way, is there no nitpicker here who has noticed that {voQSIp} cannot be liquid and SIp on the same time? ;-) -- Lieven L.
