Oops. From now on, I need to proofread my posts more carefully. What I MEANT
to say was:
cha' wej ghap cha vIbaHta'. I fired two or three torpedoes.
chup mark:
>We don't know; I personally don't have much problem with, say {cha' cha,
>wej ghap vIbaHta'} (I fired two torpedos, or three).
I hadn't considered this possibility. It seems to be the shortest form that
is also grammatically correct.
