Ah, confirmation; it comes along so rarely. {{;)
Marc didn't happen to mention whether it could be used statively, did he?
Without that info, I wouldn't see any problem with
Duj taHDaq yIbach
Shoot at the at-a-negative-angle ship!
What do you think? As well, it leads one to wonder whether there's a
corresponding verb for "be at a positive angle". (But then we have {nung}
and {veb} for "previous" and "next", and they're not similar in usage IIRC.)
But it would seem that {choghvat yItaHmoH} is pretty much out of the
question in light of that info. I just thought {taHmoH} would have been a
great verb to use for lowering a gangplank. {{:)
Savan.
