> (MO via Lieven, 10/29/2015):  A stamp (rubber stamp, a tool/device, not postage stamp) is a {toqwIn}.  To use a stamp, you ink it up and then you {Dut} it ("slam [it] down").  The word for ink is {rItlh}, and the ink pad is called {rItlh 'echlet}.  The image that results from using a rubber stamp is {yang}.

It is true that that came from "MO via Lieven", but the source that the 
KWOTD is correct as well, since that's where the word, including 
description, was published.
