Consider the following expression:
qaStaHvIS may'
during the battle (while the battle was happening)
Okrand has used this word, in
qaStaHvIS wa' ram wa' SaD Hugh SIjlaH qetbogh loD
Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.
The relevant part here is "in one night." Literally, {qaStaHvIS wa' ram}
means "while one night is happening."
