Where Kirk goes, we follow. ST5
qatlha'
I chase you. KLS
{ngem Sarghmey tlha'laH} "be able to chase forest *sarks*" is an idiom used to indicate that one is capable of following anyone or anything--that is, that one is capable of understanding even the most complex of discussions or of solving the most intricate of problems (cf. KGT p.111).
{tlha'} might be used metaphoricall to mean "court, woo". E.g.
Tumek asks Worf, "Have you ever pursued a Klingon woman?"
("Looking For par'Mach In All the Wrong Places")
Grilka asks Quark, "Why do you pursue me?"
("Looking For par'Mach In All the Wrong Places")
