If tlhepQe' "saliva" is produced, one is said to tIl "salivate." If the tlhepQe' involuntarily escapes one's lips and dribbles down one's chin, one is said to bol "drool." To intentionally eject the tlhepQe' from one's mouth is to tuy' "spit." Maltz pointed out that a similar verb, tlhIS "spit out," is used to refer to spitting out things other than saliva, such as parts of food that are not swallowed or teeth. If what one spits out is basically liquid, such as a mixture of saliva and mucus, tuy' would be used; for spitting out a mixture of saliva and something that is basically solid, tlhIS would be more appropriate.
