Notes

Email from Lieven L. Litaer: We received these words during a small qepHom we had on Saturday (25 January 2014), and Maltz was very talkative this time. He did not only give us geometrical shapes, but also the next two words, of which at least one word can be used very often: toSwI' qal'aq climbing apparatus, jungle gym qal'aq frame, framework, supporting structure, skeleton Deq (be) erstwhile, former, prior, ex- There is also an idiomatic use of that verb, for example Deq SuvwI' is similar to the English expression "That warrior is history".
