[Tlhingan-hol] A New Hope

One comment:

> yay wa'DIch luQapta'.

I'd use luchavta' here:
As I see it, one can Qap a Quj, a qaD, a may', a noH and the like, but I'm not sure one can Qap victory. We know from canon, however, that one can chav it.

Consider the proverb:

noH QapmeH wo' Qaw'lu'chugh yay chavbe'lu' 'ej wo' choqmeH may' DoHlu'chugh lujbe'lu'.

{Destroying an empire to win a war is no victory, and backing away from a war to save an empire is no defeat.}
