I would assume that a {ghImwI'} is a type of {yIb}. A vent doesn't
necessarily have to be used for getting rid of some substance, even
though that's what we normally think of when we hear the word.

Do we know what the argument structure of {nIj} is? Is the subject the
substance that's leaking, or the object from which it is leaking?

What are the main semantic differences between {natlh} and {tlhuch}?
Slash which sense of "exhaust" does {tlhuch} refer to (exhausting a
person, exhausting a resource, or emitting exhaust)?
