pItlh! (Okay!)
If we analyzed it in respect to all the other <mu'mey tlhIngan>, we would
find that, as even beginners notice, that there should not be an apostrophe
(') between the two consonants (according to what we know of <tlhIngan Hol>).
To me it is just jibberish, but maybe someone could come up with a
reasonable explanation as to why it appears to say "small dislike". I can
only add one possible definition of this phrase: "The person SLIGHTLY
dislikes the other person." That is not anything close to "love"; but at
least they cracked open TKD.
