Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: pujwI'

I don't understand your point.  Here's the verse from paq'batlh as it was posed on the mailing list:

nItebHa' molor HI''a'
   SuvvIpghach puj je
   HarghmeH yeq chaH  

United to do battle together!
   Against fear and against weakness!

(PB, p.118-119)

I noticed that "the tyrant Molor" doesn't appear in the gloss, but I assumed that this was a loose, poetic translation.  Have I mis-quoted the verse?
