Introduced on startrek.klingon (11/05/99):
tagha' pawpu' meb 'ach pumDI' ('etlh) Heghpu' qagh.
The guest finally arrived, but by then the gagh had died.
N.B. {pumDI' X} - where X is the subject noun (most commonly {'etlh}
"sword, blade") - is another idiom introduced at the same time meaning "by
then, by that time."
