Why do you combine the words without a space between them? They are much more understandable if kept separate as QeS advised. There's little if any difference in pronunciation when spoken.

I think the existence of words like {'o'} and {yor} make that sort of ambiguity unlikely.

The one place I can think of where we might have gotten a clue to its deep meaning is the Bird of Prey poster, where one of the Technical Callouts is the "heat exhaust" on a wing cannon. It's given as {tuj ghImwI'}. Make of that what you will.
