More Information

Alan Anderson reported:

I once ordered bIQ neH to drink at a restaurant. Marc Okrand, sitting across the table from me, suggested that I really meant bIQ mob. That would have been proper if I were not having anything else. As I did intend to order food as well, however, my usage was correct. I wanted "mere water" as opposed to "water alone". (email to mailing list of July 16, 2012)
