Actually <reH> is forever, not <neH>. <neH> means "to want". It looks
like the writer may have been trying to say something like
"Kronos wants us to pick up the batleth so that we can kill honorably."
It looks like they might have used <Hu'> meaning "get up" to say "pick up."
If so, it's quite wrong, but no surprise there. We can probably write the
whole thing off as no' Hol.
