>{tlhIngan Hol vISovmoH} sounds like it could be confusing. Since {tlhIngan

Perhaps {noymoH} "cause to be well known" would work instead.
For what it's worth, the verb {num} "promote" is used in this sense on the
{matlh jupna'} certificate. I wouldn't have expected it to have that kind
of meaning (increasing rank seemed more likely), but there it is, on a
document bearing Marc Okrand's signature.
