- qI` - v - sign; register, sign up for (an account) mab qI` register for an account [used for signing a treaty, contract, loan agreement, signing up for a conference or class or even for auditions for a team or show; what underlies this is that something — an obligation or commitment or pact or response or arrangement of some sort — comes about as a result of the signing (or signing up). qI` can also be used for signing a petition. In this case, the signer hopes for an action or response on the part of the recipient of the petition, knowing, however, that it may not come to pass. What might come about as a result of the signing is potential. The signing (or signing up) need not be done by putting pen to paper or the like. It can be electronic (e-signing) or anything else that is recognized by the parties involved. qI` is still the verb used for this. The object of qI` is the document (actual or electronic or whatever) that the "signature" ends up on or associated with, thereby becoming documentation of the commitment.]

(2) "between A and B" means the full stretch of time (or distance or whatever), from one end of the span to the other. In this case, the noun qubbID is used: DaSjaj buqjaj (je) qubbID maleng we travel Monday to Friday or we travel between Monday and Friday. Compare: DaSjaj buqjaj (je) qubbID maghom we meet between Monday and Friday, we meet Moday to Friday and rav DaSjaj 'aqroS buqjaj maghom we meet between Moday and Friday, we meet at some point between Monday and Friday.]
