Notes

DoQmIv          sink (for cleaning hands, face, food, etc.) (n) (qep'a' 2016)
DoQmIvHom       small tub,  bucket (n) (qep'a' 2016)
DoQmIv'a'       bathtub (n) (qep'a' 2016);  swimming pool (qepHom 2016)

 (Lieven, qepHom 2016):  When DoQmIv'a' is a big tub, then - of course - a DoQmIvHom is a small one, so it can be used for the meaning of a "bucket", or anything similar.

(MO, qepHom 2016):  when needed, distinguish by qualifiers:  Say'moHmeH DoQmIv'a', QalmeH DoQmIv'a' 

(KGT 91):  The verb HaH ["marinate"] ... is now often used in the more general sense of "soak, drench". It is frequently heard in the reflexive form (HaH'egh "soak oneself") in reference to such activities as drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and bathing, an occasional undertaking with negative connotations.

(TKW 35):  The negative associations with water might also be seen when Worf remarked to Counselor Deanna Troi, "Swimming is too much like bathing."
