I'd originally rejected {pol} because "keeping/saving" something because
it's obsolete sounded odd.  But by your examples, it looks like {pol} also
has the sense of "store".

{notlhmo' 'ejyo' wIpol 'e' wIchup'a'?}

Actually what does "mothballing" a fleet of ships really mean?  I guess the
reason I'm uncertain how to translate the Klingon is because I don't fully
understand the English.
