Re: [Tlhingan-hol] ghargh, Hod je -- vaghDIch
{HoD} means "Captain".
I'd suggest:
{wa'logh qIptaHvIS HuD, wejlogh qIplaH ghargh.}
The point here is that the serpent can strike three times while the mountain strikes once.
The difference between {-DI'} and {-taHvIS} is subtle, but important in this example. {-DI'} implies an instant when something happens. {-taHvIS} implies a duration while something happens. In this case, the mountain's instant is a duration for the serpent, and while that duration occurs, it can strike three times.
