Don't add apostrophes where they don't belong! {vItu'}.

Especially if you're posting under KLBC, remember to mark names like this.
*{jemHaDar} is not, to my knowledge, an official pronunciation of this race in
Klingon phonetics.

Perhaps a better way to say this would be {vaj pagh DoS tu'laH *wo'rIv*}.

This is an interesting problem. Can one say {HoS law'} for "a lot of power"?
Is "many energies" the same thing?" It might do.

Summary: the Star Trek writers have gotten very silly, making every Klingon
and Romulan ship capable of using a cloaking device (if the power was really a
consideration, this wouldn't be the case). The reason Jem'Hadar uncloak to
attack is because it'd look silly to see them attacking someone while still
invisible.
