I wonder if {DIj} "use a pigment stick" and {DIj} "slide sword blade along
opponent's blade" aren't really the same verb, applied to two different
contexts? Maybe they're just two instances of a more generic meaning of
"slide a stick-like object along another object so as to cause friction",
or something like that.

But isn't that exactly what {ghItlh} is for?
