Ah. Your subject line says {jIQaHnIS}, which means "I need to help." You
meant "HIQaH} "Help me!"

I'll give some brief answers. You should really be working some of these out
yourself.
1. {tu'meH leng} "trip for observing." This is just my own take on a
contextless word.
2. We don't have a word for this sort of mine, so I'll say, {jorbogh jan
So'lu'bogh tISam} "Seek and locate exploding devices which have been hidden."
3. {jorbogh jan So'lu'bogh tIlan} "Place exploding devices which have been
hidden."
4. {HIv} (clipped). {yIHIv} if talking to one person, {peHIv} if speaking to
more than one.
5. {yIHotlh} "Scan!" {peHotlh} for more than one person.
6. {mID yIchenmoH} "Make a colony."
7. {bIyuvHa' 'e' yInID} "Try to pull." I'm only guessing that {yuvHa'} would
be translated as "pull." For more than one person, say {SuyuvHa' 'e' yInID}.
8. {bIghoS 'e' yInID} "Try to approach." For more than one person, say
{SughoS 'e' yInID}.
9. {So'} (clipped) {yISo'} or {peSo'} for more than one person. Best of all,
{So'wI' yIchu'} "Activate cloaking device!"
> Other thing: How can I say: "activate tractor beam" ?
In my {jatmey} story, I said, {Dujmaj jontaHbogh Surchem'e' luchu'ta'
romuluSnganpu'} "The Romulans have activated a forcefield which captures our
ship."
