[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: vul

[Felix Malmenbeck]

> *vulHa'                  be conscious (?)
> *vulHa'choH      revive, "come to" (?)

vulHa'choH makes sense as "come to" or "return to consciousness" to me.
However, I'd probably regard most conscious people as being vulbe', rather than vulHa', since Klingons probably regard consciousness as the more natural state for living creatures.

I might imagine, however, that some may refer to spiritual environment as «qa' vulHa'chu'[ta']ghach».
