I meant, were  *you* assisting the repair crew vicariously through 'eSSIm?
(The footnote was what made me wonder.)

Qov:

nuqjatlh? When/where/how did we get that? I was updating my wishlist just
a couple of days ago and added "call, summon" to it. It's not even in the
Klingonska canon database.

Qov:

Oh, I know. quvmoH and tlhob are also distinct possibilities. I just like
that in Klingon you kinda have to spell out what your purpose is.

Qov:

Just from the gloss where "thrusters" are the example object. Now that I
think about it a bit more, yeah, I guess I can see it - if someone {baH}s
something, then that thing {laQ}s. Forget I mentioned it...

HIja' - Satlh jInmol loHtaH 'e' vIqaw. tIr SuQ SeptaH, qar'a'?

qay'be'qu'. vIlaDqa'meH meq vInejlI' 'ej DaH vIghajbej. :P
