{vum} is "perform ones tasks" - French "travailler"
{Qap} is "function" - French "marcher" as in "l'appareil ne march
pas" {Qap} also means "win" or "suceed."

We're not sure whether this implies that the person would be joining
you to something or joining with you. You'd be safer using {tlhej}
instead of {muv}. Nice sentence, though. Good recast.
