qaStaHvIS vagh jar *Tai Chi* vIqeqtaH.
tlhIngan Hol vIghItlhtaHvIS ~maqabara' vIlo'.
I mark the word with a ~ to indicate that it does not officially exist.
The consensus here is that <tonSaw'> is a verb, while I use <~maqbara'>
as a noun. Perhaps <jItonSaw'> and <~maqbara' vIqeq> mean the same thing.
