[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh SochmaH Hut: 'urmangHey

[Qov]

As the Dugh captain and crew were discussing killing General qImyal, 
they realized Essim could hear them. Essim drew her rapier and 
prepared to defend herself.

SKI: Essim makes no comment on what she has obviously overheard, and 
vajar and crew discuss others who may know what is going on but be 
doing nothing.

[195] Hey why not? If all these Klingons have gone hunting they're 
going to kill more than they can eat during shore leave, and all the 
food they're eating in the dining room has to come from somewhere.
[198] I just noticed that every time I start to type ghutar or vajar, 
autocomplete is still offering me ghutaaaaaaaaar and vajaaaaaaaaar, 
from when they were burping each other's names back when they were 
drunk on *Dugh*!
[200] First this sentence was: QuSchugh vay' SaH 'eSSIm 'e' pIH 
vajar. But that was a problem because it could be read as "If someone 
were conspiring, vajar expected that Essim would be there." So I 
changed it to {QuSchugh vay' pum 'eSSIm 'e' pIH vajar.} Hmm, no, I 
don't want it misread as, "If someone were conspiring, vajar expected 
that Essim would fall."
[248] ngaH is qaH'eng's boss, the petite Klingon who heads the *veS* 
engineering section.

Two 'ay'mey 'til the end of the 'ay''a'! Don't worry, I do intend to 
return to explain Essim's somewhat puzzling behaviour here.
