Verb

English: store, hoard, cache

KLCP Level: 3

Notes

MO: Make use of the verb ngeq "store, hoard, cache." When referring to memorizing something or knowing something by heart, the usual expression is along the lines of
ghuQ ngeqpu' qawwIj "I've memorized the poem" (literally "my memory has stored the poem").

Q: Can this verb be used to store food, or different things? We do have the term for "food storage" Soj polmeH pa'.

MO: There's a subtle difference between ngeq and pol. The act of moving or putting things somewhere to store them is ngeq; just keeping them there is pol. So if I see you putting the groceries into the food storage room, I can say Soj Dangeq. If I visit your house and snoop around and see food already in the storage room, I might make an observation and say Soj Dapol. In many cases, of course, the distinction is minor or irrelevant, so either word could be used. For memorizing, ngeq is the word in the idiom even though, once the poem or whatever is memorized, pol might make more sense. Maltz didn't know why.

Q: Can this verb be used in the computer meaning sense? To "save" / "store" a file on a disk?

MO: Yes. Both words can.
