Source: qepHom 2020 _______________________________________________ (De'vID, 6/30/2015): Marc said that the subject of {Ding} spins, and that someone or something {DIngmoH}s something else. Actually, what he said was that the pair {Ding} and {DIngmoH} worked like {jIr} and {jIrmoH}, but he changed the topic (or the topic was changed on him) before he could further explain what was the difference between {Ding} and {jIr}. (KGT 60): There is an extensive vocabulary for the moves associated with bat'leth use. … To twirl or rotate the bat'leth is {jIrmoH} and to toss it from one hand to the other (the same word is used whether left to right or right to left) is {baQ}.
