As used in canon:

   tachDaq choDor'a'
   Will you escort me to a bar? CK

Cf. the verbs {Dev} "lead, guide", {tlhej} "accompany" and {tay'} "be 
together".

Note the homophonous noun {Dor} and the derived noun {DorwI'}, both meaning 
an "escort":

   nov DorwI'
   alien escort CK

[I don't have my paper copy of TKD; is there really a noun {Dor} or is this 
an error in my notes?]

Cf. also {DevwI'} "leader", though it could also be translated as a 
"guide".  The subtitle to TKW is {SuvwI' DevmeH paq} "A Warrior's Guide[book]".
