(The line happened to break in a way that had my mental movie briefly
showing me a betleH walking in under its own power. It was amusing.)

(I'm trying not to find {net V-laH} worthy of comment, but it always
gives me satisfaction to see the idea expressed within the rules.)

Before consulting the footnote, I believe I understand this. I'd
probably go with {Huv} instead of {poS}. Even if "open" is common
swordfighters' jargon, it seems just opaque enough to be confusing.
And after seeing the footnote, my comments stand. If you don't like
{Huv}, perhaps {nIt} or {tlhol} or {watlh} or {vaQ} could work.

Dach'a' <yajlaHbe'> mojaq? (If not, what's Klingon for "comma splice"?)
