I don't believe it's covered in TKD, but we have an example of this very
verb so used from ST5:
Vixis: {tlha'a HoD, DoS wIpuStaH. nejwI' tIQ 'oH.}
Captain Klaa, we have a target in sight. A probe of ancient origin.
Klaa: {qIpmeH Qatlh'a'?}
Difficult to hit?
Vixis: {Qatlhqu'.}
Most difficult.
Klaa: {maj. vISeHmeH Hoch nuHmey Qay!}
Good. All weapons to my control. Scope!
