yongHa' (was Re: Klingon WOTD: lel (v))

I think {Haw'} "get out" and {yong} "get in" sound like perfect opposites.
Okrand once commented that {jotlhHa'} isn't just "put up"; it's more like
"put back up (after having taken down)". Because of that, and because of
the existence of verb {Haw'}, I interpret {yongHa'} as "get back in", i.e.
*un*doing {yong} rather than merely doing the opposite.
