qama'pu' (prisoners) - qaja'pu' (i told you)
jonta' (to succeed to capture) - jonta' (engine)
neH (want) - neH (only)
vaj (so) - vaj (warrior)
toDDujDaj (rescue ship) - toDuj Daj (tests without result courage)
ngeHbej (certainly sends) - negHbej (cosmos)
DIvI' (federation) - DI vI' (shoots garbage)
