[Tlhingan-hol] Gleanings from Monopoly: Klingon Edition (MKE)

[Felix Malmenbeck]

When I read «rI'Ha'», the picture I get is of one of Picard on the bridge trying to talk some sense into somebody on subspace, but when he notices the other person isn't prepare to listen, he shouts «rI'Ha'!», and the transmission ends.
Then when the other person tries to «rI'qa'», Picard decides to «rI'Ha'taH» for a little while and let the other guy sweat.

rI' = hail (possibly also "respond to hail")
rI'be' = not hail
rI'Ha' = "unhail"; to terminate hsiling frequencirs, or refuse to accept a hail

I'd totally understand jIrI'Ha'pu' in that context.
