Aside: It's been asked how to translate Picard's "Make it so!" into
Klingon. I think it's usually been translated as {yIruch!} But here we
see a hint of the original Klingon: {DaqaSmoHchugh} "If you make it
so". So, as a command, "Make it so!" would be {yIqaSmoH!}
We know that Picard studied Klingon, so he must have copied the
original Klingon saying.
