Cf. the nomen agentis {jubbe'wI'} "mortal (person)" used in the paq'batlh (p. 122f.):
lojmItDaj veghta'DI' jubbe'wI'
yInqa'meH chegh 'e' botnIS qotar
qeylIS HoHmeH qotar qeylIS SamnIS
Still, Kotar cannot let a mortal
Pass his gates and return alive,
Kahless must be hunted down and killed.
Related words:
jubbe' be mortal (v)
Hegh die (v)
yIn live (v)
yIn life (n)
Hegh death (n)
Cultural notes:
TKW 15: Great accomplishments are commonly immortalized in song... Because songs are repeated, the same way proverbs are repeated, they help to preserve tradition as well as to teach the young.
