[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' SochmaH wa': <burghDaq Qot mang>

[Robyn Stewart]

This chapter's violence includes impalement, implied head stomping, 
and disruptor fire.

 From yesterday, vajar's injuries are making it hard to fight with a 
blade, and indications are that Hota'ro' and ghutar are already down.

SKI: ghutar's damaged hands can hold a weapon after all.

[36] I'm a little worried that this sounds too weak, more "help me" 
than "cover me." I'm looking for something closer to the latter, 
without going to "jIvangtaHvIS HIHub."
[14] I'm sure it's obvious that this isn't typos, but just in case: 
this isn't a series of typos. Hota'ro' isn't feeling up to making all 
those sounds right now. You'll have to forgive her. She has a knife 
through one lung.
