That's charghwI''s polite way of saying, "Qov you messed up that word
so badly I have no idea what you're talking about." I knew there were
two words for United Federation of Planets, but I didn't bother to
look either of them up. The correct words are:
yuQjIjDIvI'
yuQjIjQa'
I learned these words back before we knew that /jIj/ meant "be
cooperative" so even the first compound didn't make a lot of sense,
and just had to be memorized. loQ qalmoHlaw' qawHaqwIj. Hagh qoHpu'
neH HeghtaHvIS SuvwI'pu'.
