If one wanted to keep the wind reference for some reason, would it make
sense to say something like this?

	not rIn SoQchaj; SuS rur
	jatlhtaH 'a jatlhta'be'; SuS rur

> nI' SuSchaj - Their wind is lengthy (in duration).

How about <<nI' SoQchaj; SuS rur>>

<<nI' SuSchaj>> could be talking about anything - even in English, it could
just as easily refer to endurance (which would be a compliment), intestinal
gas (which wouldn't) or literally the wind (in a sailboat race).
