[De'vID]> Can lol (applied to people) take the name of a martial arts stance? For example, can one give a command such as mIl'oD lol yIlol "strike a sabre bear pose (martial arts stance)" (lol is a noun meaning a martial arts stance)? If not, how would one give the command to strike a specific named martial arts pose?
The noun lol refers to a specific martial arts stance. It's not a general term for "stance" (so you don't say mIl'oD lol "sabre bear pose"). tonSaw' "fighting technique," however, is used as a general term for "stance" when talking about Mok'bara poses and the like, so you could say mIl'oD tonSaw' "sabre bear stance." The verb lol means "be in a stance"; it doesn't take an object. To command someone to strike a pecific pose (typically a martial arts pose or stance), use the verb much, usually glossed as "present, perform," with the specific pose as the object: mIl'oD tonSaw' yImuch "strike the sabre bear pose!" If the context is clear - that is, if mIl'oD is known to mean the name of a pose - then you can leave tonSaw' out and just say mIl'oD yImuch "strike the sabre bear (pose)!" (This is like in English when talking about yoga poses: "Do the downward facing dog!") If you were performing in a play and your character was a sabre bear, the director might also say mIl'oD yImuch, meaning something like "perform/present the sabre bear (role)!"
