<no'wI' pagh yIHot!> for "Touch nothing of my ancestor's".
I thought when I read it, why not just say "Don't anything of my ancestor's"
until I realized that it comes out as <no'wI' vay' yIHotQa'!>
which can easily misinterpreted as "Don't touch any of my ancestors".  Oh my,
isn't this language fun!
