[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: mI' nagh

Is {HoSHal} actually written as one word?  Okrand already used it on SkyBox Card S14 as two words:

nISwI' HIch motlh HoS Hal qengwI' naQ tIq je lurarlu'bogh 'oH tlhIngan nISwI' beH'e'.
The Klingon disruptor rifle is a standard hand held disruptor, attached to an extended power supply stock. (S14)

?{HoS Hal} parallels {HoS waw'} "energy facility" nicely, as well as the nouns:

HoS choHwI'  transtator
HoS lIngwI'  power generator

OTOH, we have:

HoSchem  	  energy field
HoSDo'	  energy beings

and the odd verb:

HoSghaj 	  be powerful, be potent
