Better, sure.  But what would have been appropriate would be {HItlhej}.
 Sisko isn't trying to tell them to approach him.  He's trying to tell them
to follow him.  My guess is that the powers-that-goof at Paramount were
trying to have him say, "Come!"  They actually did an impressive job, in
realizing that a verb prefix was needed.  Unfortunately, {ghoS} isn't the
word they wanted, and they got the prefix wrong.

P.S.  In Paramountese, {Qapla'} means "Success!" while {kaplaaah} means "good
evening."
