That's a very good answer but not the answer I have in mind.  :P

1+ karma for the translation.

If it's not lub yeebthooj... it's that silversmith/blacksmith machine .... I'm not sure of the Hmong term for it.  Darn it... tsis nco qab lub npe lawm.  :)

You are thinking of lub lwj hlaus.

Let's see what Toumeng says about the answer.

noj ntawm ncauj tshwm ntawm tav yog Hmoob lub zeb zom (zom zeb) uas hmoob siv los zom pob kws and the sorts. Yus rau rau saum lub ncauj ces thaum zom ces tawm ntawm tav - noj ntawm ncauj tshwm ntawm tav.

Lub yeeb thooj mas yog - Rauv tawm nram tiaj...tshwm pem looj hiaj

Reporter & Divine,
No it's not a lwj hlaus. With the lwj hlaus, you can only blow air out on the side but you can't put anything in.

Gawmp,
That's a great answer and it could be the answer to this riddle but it's not the answer I'm looking for.

+1 for your answer anyway.  ;)

Toumeng, I kind of agree with Gawmp on that first riddle. But you said that's still not the answer. What's the answer? Should we keep guessing?
