May have been used in ST6 during the war council on Kronos One after
Gorkon's assassination:
Kerla: DIHIvlaHtaHvIS DaH DIHIvnIS!
(Attack them now, while we still can!)
Khmarr: DIHIvbe'ch[ugh] qo'chajDaq toy'wI''a' DImoj. (?)
(Attack or be slaves in their world.)
Grokh: Qo'! pe'vIl DIHIvlaH, <QaplaH> tlhob <be---HaH> (??)
(We can take whole by force, what they propose to divide.)
Others heard Grokh say something like:
<QaplaH <pla'> pe'vIl <Qapla' ghobe' laH'a'> (???)
This line has long puzzled me. If anyone wants to listen to this scene
again and decipher what Gen. Grokh is mumbling, I'd appreciate it.
N.B. {boqHa''egh} "dis-ally from oneself, dissociate from oneself" is used
in math for division (cf. HQ 9.3).
