Notes

Regarding "plumber" -- It turns out there is a special word for "water pipe" (not what you use for smoking -- the kind that carries water from place to place): qatlhDa'. Though one could say qatlhDa' mutlhwI' and be understood, the normal way to refer to someone putting in pipes (for water or anything else) is 'och mutlhwI'.
