It's the first time *I* saw it. I try to keep a pretty good record
of sources, and what I have down for {vIl} is <HQ:v13n1p10>.

Based on {pIm} being glossed simply as "be different" and not as
"differ (from)", I wouldn't use it that way. I'd say it like this:
pIm QuchwIj QuchlIj je
My forehead and your forehead are different.
I'd also be tempted to use {tuqvol} instead of {Quch} here, to help
suggest your parenthetical context.
