Do'Ha'.

mujang Qov, jatlh:

It does a bit - I should try to tone it down. Some of it comes from having the original text embed the "make X's-self" bit deeply enough in my mind that I don't shake it in the Klingon.

Qov:
> latlhpu'?  You know these epics aren't private conversations amongst me, QeS and ghunchu'wI', qar'a'?

'e' luSovbej latlhpu' 'e' vItul!

Hochlogh Hoch nuv belmoHlaHbe' vay'. :)

chaq Qagh. But Rustaveli goes to excruciating lengths to make it clear how awesome Avtandil is at pretty much everything. Presumably guarding is another thing he can do, apart from ride horses and be hot and skewer defenceless animals at a hundred paces.

jIH:

Qov:
> 'avwI' motlh ghaHbe'. 'avtanDIl ghaH. 'avtaHbe''a' 'avtanDIl?

As you realise in the next couple of lines, 'avtanDIl is inside, with another guard outside. On rereading it's really not clear from the outset though so I've added a bit to clarify.

jIH:

Qov:

bIlughchu'. vIchoH.

jIH:

Qov:

'e' vIqelbe'. HurDaq 'av 'avwI' motlh 'ej qoDDaq 'av 'avtanDIl 'e' vIQub. 'ach cha' lojmIt lutu'lu'chugh, qay'be'; ram.

jIH:

Qov:

Heh. How does one raise a princess to NOT be spoiled?

(poD vay')

jIH:
> belwIj Haw'moHta'bogh wanI' qaja'.›»

Qov:
> It's sweet, the respect among that family is something the common man can strive for, more than the wanton slaughter of game and luxurious parties.

I think that's part of why the poem's so popular in Georgia. It's about these high-falutin' types but they still display values worthy of emulating.

Qov:
> I got more of a tIna'tIn waits around for roStevan to notice her absence then comes in, instantly cheering roStevan with her presence, and he says he will tell her why he is upset. 

Yep, or that. :)
