Never used in a sentence.
Cultural notes:
KGT 95: A popular effervescent drink, black in color, is called {'awje'}. This is frequently, though not accurately, translated as "root beer," probably because of its superficial resemblance to the Federation soft drink, but it is made from, among other things, the marrow ({melchoQ}) taken from the bones of a {teghbat} (*teg'bat*).
Related nouns:
{Hom} bone
{to'waQ} ligament/tendon
