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

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Here ya go:

paq'batlh, paq'raD, canto 23:

ngIq tonSaw' lo' 'ej tIqDu' lel
ngIq tonSaw' lo' 'ej quvqa'
ngIq tonSaw' lo' 'ej rIn may'

In one single move, he removed the hearts,
In one single move, he restored his honor,
In one single move, the battle was done.

  ngIq tonSaw' lo' 'ej...
  in one single move, he... ('U'-OPERA)

(And, no, I don't have the complete line in my notes.)
