How about *{tlhuHmeH jo'} "breathing machinery"? Actually, *{tlhuHmeH jan(=
Hom)} "breathing device" might be better. {jo'} "machinery" is used for fa=
irly large machinery on the BOP poster:
jopwI' jo' recoil machinery =
tal jo' cannon machinery =
tel SeHwI' jo' wing control mechanism
Instead of {bIq vInobnIS} "I must give (it) water", how about {janDaq bIQ v=
IqangnIS} "I must pour water into the device". Some liquid-related vocabul=
ary:
qang pour (from one container into another), pour into (v)
lIch pour (into/onto anything) (v)
teb fill (v)
buy' be full, filled up (v)
As ghunchu'wI' remarked {puch} "toilet" is a noun, but we have the verb {S=
ay'moH} "wash" or {lamHa'choHmoH} "get something cleaned".
Putting it altogether:
Qapchu'meH Hoch jaj janDaq bIQ vIqangnIS 'ej vISay'moHnIS.
For it to function properly, I must pour water into the
device and clean it every day.
"Mask" is a problem. We have {mIn QanwI' nguv} "sunglasses" (lit. "tinted=
eye protector") from TalkNow! So something like *{qab/ghIch QanwI'} "face=
/nose protector"?
