Hmmmm . . . I hadn't thought of that. Of course, what we're doing here is
playing a game of "let's try to figure out what the writers were *trying* to
say, and how did they misuse the language to do it?" *{cho' ghoS} "Approach
succession" doesn't make too much sense. When you're trying to learn the
language, don't worry about what comes out of Worf's, Dax's, or anybody else's
mouths on Star Trek. It doesn't mean much.
What Sisko *should* have said was {HItlhej} "Come with me!"
