Cf. HQ 5.1:20, from KCD: MO's audio for {nalqaD} says that *{nal} is not used as a word on its own, although it is also found in {be'nal} "wife" and {loDnal} "husband". Technically, it is a bound morpheme, like English -(o)logy. (KCD)
KGT 69: Though any perceived attack on one's honor may prompt one to issue a challenge, in one traditional form of duel, the goal is specifically for a man to "win the favor of a women" ({vuv be' 'e' baj} [literally, "earn that a woman respect him"]) by competing with another man."
Related words:
Hay' duel (v)
qaD challenge (v)
