[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh HutmaH wej: Sor Hap boSmeH - READ ME FIRST

[Qov]

Darn, I accidentally sent 194 out first, mislabelled in the subject 
line as 193. This is the real 193. My apologies if you read 194 
first. It will make a lot more sense if you read this one first.

In 192, the 'ay' that should precede this one, 'eSSIm and Mahoun were 
discussing what to do about the pursuit.

SKI: 'eSSIm runs into trouble while exploring the cave.

[209] I was going to do a rant here about kids who don't wear a watch 
because they tell time by their cellphones and what would they do if 
they fell in a river and ended up in a dark cave and needed to know 
what time it was? But my self-winding, waterproof, heirloom watch has 
no light, so I'd be just as hooped.
[211] I enjoy having 'eSSIm eat bugs as casually as I eat berries but 
be grossed out over having to drink water. Mahoun, like people from 
the majority of cultures on my planet, is fine with consuming both 
bugs and unbottled water.
[212] Hey, it's dark. She's a biologist. She has been here for a few 
years working on this grain project, with no social life. She's 
probably catalogued every plant within walking distance. Why wouldn't 
she taste them?
[249] {ghorgh tujchoHpu' bIQ} I like opportunities to use perfective 
in the future, to remind me and everyone that it isn't about the past.
[285] That's right. Completely ignorant of water safety skills of all 
kinds, Essim almost drowned wearing a sword belt and heavy boots and 
didn't have the presence of mind to remove them, or even realize that 
it would be a good idea.
