*drum roll*
I go "through" a door - durch
"through" the night - die Nacht "u:ber" (no umlaut, so I'm using colon)
Monday "through" Friday - von Montag "bis" Fritag
all "through" her life - ihr ganzes Leben lang (all through - ganzes &
lang - neither word
means "through" but they carry the idea of "all through" [lit. her
entire life long])
put "through" (as in a telephone call) - verbinden
My tlhIngan Hol is very weak so pardon the errors:
{vegh}- 'och DaveghvIS maSwov Daleghbe'
One may pass through (or {vegh}) a door, tunnel, window, etc.

Now I must call out for help from charghwI', ~mark, ghunchu'wI', SuStel,
et.al.
