maj. The <-lI'> on <qeq> doesn't belong - remember the rule about type 7
suffixes on verbs after <'e'>. You could easily put it onto the first verb.
I also think <qon> would be better than <gher> here. <gher> refers to
compiling information already in existence, while <qon> is more about
recording your own ideas.

As much as I appreciate the opportunity to use <-beH>, it doesn't quite work
here. The subject of <chu'> is the person doing the activating rather than
the device itself, so the appropriate type two suffix should be <-rup>.
<jolvoy'mey tIchu'rupchoH> would mean "get ready to engage the TIU's".
However, if you stick a <-moH> on the verb, then you may be able to use
<-beH>: <jolvoy'mey tIchu'beHchoHmoH>. This is fairly mind bending, and I'm
not sure if it works . . .

majQa'. pIjHa' moHaq <che-> lo'lu'. narghDI' lo'meH 'eb, nargh 'e'
vIchaw'Qo'.
(NOTE: pun with <nargh> - look up both meanings).

maj. Related words: <yong> - "get in"; <lIt> - "get on"; <tIj> - "board".

maj. You could also say <chanvo' vIghoSpu'> for a very similar meaning,
although I'd have to take a look at Okrand's HolQeD interview to tell you
what the difference is.
