Interchangeable, just stick them in the way you would say "ok you guys" or
"listen up" or "this is what I want you to do ..."
}But I have some doubts to use them and the suffixes -rup and -beH
If the subject of the verb is a person, use {-rup}. If the subject is a
device, use {-beH}. jIbachrup. baHbeH cha. Use them anytime you want to
say that someone is prepared or ready to do the action of the verb.
}Capt. Fire torpedos at my command - qara'DI' cha yIbaH
}Gunner: Torpedos are ready to launch, sir - baHbeH cha, qaH
}Capt: Fire - baH (Clipped klingon)
}
}Capt.: Desactivate the cloak device at my command - qara'DI' So'wI' yIchu'Ha'
}Engeneer: Standing by, sir - SuH
}Capt. Ready! - 'eH
}Engeneer: Aye, sir - HIja', qaH
}Capt: Now! - DaH
Looks good.
