That's right. It was just to distinguish {meQ} "burn" (i.e. be on fire) fr=
om {laQ} "fire, energize" & {baH} "fire (torpedoes, etc.)".

I'm guessing Voragh is extrapolating from <meQtaHbogh qachDaq Suv qoH neH> =
("Only a fool fights in a burning house.").
Interestingly, it seems <meQ> can also mean "be burnt" (as in <Ha'DIbaHmey =
meQ Sop 'e' tIv tera'nganpu'>) and "to cause to burn" (as in <to'waQ meQ vu=
twI'>). [I'm a bit suspicious toward that last one, myself, and always use =
<meQmoH>, but it is canon.]
