the context is a russian film called "stalker". this word is never 
clearified, so i can only presume that it's meaning is... well 
something like "{tlha'} "chase, follow"; {ghoch} "track, track down"; 
{nej} "look for, seek, search for"; {Sam} "locate, seek, find" and 
{So'} "hide, conceal"". ;)

i've got to think about it for a while.
