Except that {ghuH} is "be alerted" and putting {-'egh} on it is not
only unnecessary, but outright ungrammatical.
{yIghuH} "Be alerted."
{yIghuHchoH} "Become alerted" or just possibly "prepare yourself."
The suffix {-rup} carries the "be prepared" meaning in Klingon. One
should be prepared to do something specific.
{yISuvrup} "Be ready to fight."
{yIvangrupchoH} "Start preparing to take action."
{yIHub'eghrupchoH} "Prepare to defend yourself."
