So add {'InSong} "flower", {DayqIr} "honey" and {Qun} "god, supernatural being" to the list.
In particular, {jutngev} has the meaning "sweet liquid secreted by flowers to attract pollinating insects and birds". I'm not aware of any associations with gods or other things. See the original {chabal tetlh} entry here: https://www.kli.org/chabal/nectar/ -- De'vID
