[Tlhingan-hol] "I have kept my word of honor"
I've just noticed a new idiom used in the {paq'batlh}: {lay' 'ej batlh pab} "keep one's word of honor":
jIlay'ta' 'ej batlh jIpabta' vaj choDanIS
I have kept my word of honor, And so should you, (PB 150-151, 186-187)
qotarvaD lay'ta' 'ej batlh pab qeylIS
Kahless kept his word of honor to Kotar (PB 184-85)
Cf. also the verbs {'Ip} "vow, swear", {lay'} "promise" & {lay'Ha'} "break one's word".
