I was paying close attention to the dialogue as I watched it last 
week on the SciFi channel, and *I* clearly heard the end of the line 
as {...choHmoH}.  I ran out to the kitchen at the commercial break, 
trying to explain to my wife how I had just noticed evidence for 
{choH} being an intransitive verb. :-)

The first part of the sentence didn't quite make sense as I heard it;
it sounded like {*HIvHey}.  I'm willing to consider that SuStel's
transcription might be accurate, and that {HIv} was used as a noun.

I had closed captioning turned on, but they didn't caption the Klingon
words, other than an occasional note that Klingon is being spoken. :-(
For instance, when Klaa takes full responsibility for the unauthorized 
attack on the Enterprise, Koord prompts him with "maj. 'ej?"  There's 
no subtitle at that point, and the caption reads "[SPEAKING KLINGON]". 
Klaa then mutters "I apologize."  I think the credits at the end said 
the closed captioning was "courtesy of the SciFi Channel", so it might
not be the same captioning others have seen.
