I happen to have been reading that scene a couple of days ago. I know just
where to find it...flip...flip...flip...toH!
[Hamlet, lut 'ay' cha' lut 'ay'Hom cha' (nav javmaH Soch)]
000 DoD 2 QuvDaq jImaw'. choHDI' lurghvetlh pIm toQDuj to'baj je,

Translated a wee bit more literally than the "usual" interpretation, it says:
[Hamlet, Act II, Scene II (page 67)]
I am crazy at coordinates 000 mark 2. I can recognize that a Bird of
Prey and a {to'baj} are different as soon as that direction changes.
