Woops... yepHa'lu'chugh vaj Qaghlu'
I was actually aiming for something similar to "Ex luna scientia" or "Ex
astris scienta." But I see what you mean about {-vo'}, but I don't think
{-mo'} conveys the same sense of "from, out of"... but then again "luna"
and "astris" are physical places where {-vo'} might work just fine (?):

Well, anyway, I think I'll try {-mo'} for now.
