beH chagh romuluSngan 'ej torgh qIpmeH poS ro' pep. "The Romulan drops the
rifle and raises his left fist in order to hit Torg."

ro' way'taHvIS torgh, DeS jon 'ej pe'vIl tlhe'. -- way' = parry. "As Torg
parries the fist, he captures the arm and forcibly turns it."

pum romuluSngan 'e' raD.  "He forces the Romulan to fall."

Hagh torgh. "Torg laughs."

puq tonSaw' 'oH. "It is a child's fighting technique."

'a motlh mev'egh puq DeSqIv ghorpa'. "But usually a child stops himself
before he breaks the elbow."

mevbe' torgh. "Torg doesn't stop."

cha' DeSDu'Daj lI'Ha' lo' 'e' nID jagh, 'a narghlaHbe'.  "The enemy tries to
use his two useless arms, but he cannot escape."

jagh mIv teq torgh. "Torg removes the enemy's helmet."

SIbI' Sabchu' Surchem.  Sab = decline, deteriorate; Sabchu' = deteriorate
completely. "The force field immediately dwindles away."

[Looks like Torg got an A in arm-breaking in basic, so he's just going to
stick to that manoeuvre.]
