  DurIt tlhIngan yejquv 
  Summoned to the Klingon High Council. MKE

Related words:

rI' 		hail (v)
Qum 		communicate (v)
van 		salute (v)

ghunchu'wI' suggests {rItHa'} for "dismiss" (which I think is excellent).  {ghomHa'} "scatter, disperse" was used for that idea in DS9 "Sons & Daughters":  Worf dismissed a group of "replacement" crewmen for the Rotarran by saying, "Yih-Ghom-HAH! (Dismissed!)" [line from the script].
