: Klingon word:   weH
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition:     raid
: Additional Notes:
: KGT p. 48.  Same as {yot}, really, but with the added connotation of 
: surprise or speed.

Verb {yot} "invade"; noun {yot} "invasion (TKD); raid, incursion (KGT)".

See also the verb {HIv} "attack (TKD), assault (KGT)".  There's no known noun
*{HIv} in modern Klingon, though the syllable does appear in compound nouns:
{HIvchuq} "attack range" (ST5), {HIvHe} "attack course" (ST5), {HIvDuj} "attack
fighter (vessel)" KGT.
