There's no known word for "flash" but we do have {wov} "be light, be bright":
SuD 'ej wov
(it) is SuD and light (a way to refer to a yellowish tinge) KGT
SuD Dargh 'ej wov
The tea is SuD and light. KGT
SuDbogh Dargh 'ej wovbogh
The tea that is SuD and light. KGT
wov; ghI'boj Sech rur
bright as the Torch of G'boj KGT
{wew} "glow":
No attestations in canon
and {boch} "shine, be shiny":
boch ghIjraj
Your nose is shiny. TKD
reH boch qutluch lo'lu'bogh
The used kut'luch is always shiny. TKW
boch; ghIch rur
shiny as a nose KGT
Depending on what you mean, you could say {wovqu'}, which appears in the
Anthem:
nI'be' yInmaj 'ach wovqu'
Our lives burn short and bright.
According to my notes, someone on the mailing list used *{bochqu'} for
"sparkle, twinkle".
Give us the sentence you're tryng to translate and we can help you better:
