What is interesting is that in another DS9 episode, I have a reference for
"'e'cha". The note I have from whoever catalogued this
is:
"Dax says this to Worf at the end of a flirtatious batlh'etlh lessons.
Sounds WAYYY too much like ''Gotcha'' which would have been appropriate .
Meaning uncertain."
Granted that this word is not in the TKD, we could speculate that
the meaning is "enough!", so that in the Dax/Worf context it
means "I'm done", and in the Martok setting it means "We've had
enough - begin the battle!".
