[Tlhingan-hol] A little bit of new canon from Maltz

[Felix Malmenbeck]

It's worth noting that this isn't how I would've interpreted the term prior to that e-mail regarding "The Final Reflection"; since the gloss was simply "fighting technique", I would've either interpreted it as a specific Klingon martial art, or to any martial art (as a whole).

However, we get some further confirmation in paq'batlh:

ngIq tonSaw' lo'
SaD law' San chenmoH qeylIS
wej boghbogh nuvpu' San chenmoH

"In one single move,
Kahless decided the fate
Of thousands, and those to come."

I interpret tonSaw' as an individual move in a fight or game. "reflection" is a game move used in some variants of klin zha, and Marc Okrand suggested calling it neSlo' tonSaw: "the mirror move"

Going through some very old emails, I found this (scroll down for the
entire message):

 > The "The Final Reflection," [...] if "reflection,"
 > as in "image in a mirror" is needed, he offered

I don't remember any more comments about this. Do I understand
correctly, that this is an extention of the meaning of {tonSaw'} to
"reflection"?

Might this work?
    {bIQ tonSaw'Daq qalegh}
    "I see you in the reflection of the water"

Lieven.
