I don't know how much I trust it either, but FWIW it occurs in Krankor's
Klingon Anthem ("...'ach Heghmaj yIpIHQo' ghaytan wa'DIch jagh'e'
DIHeghmoHmo'"). So Krankor obviously likes it. This may or may not mean
anything.

Note that its *singular* you in "for you to see" also, so the seer is
obviously not the same as (all of) "my friends".
