One wonders if "HERRUCH'T" is a form of <ruch> instead of <ghoS>, and
the "HER" is really the release of the glottal stop plus the /r/ of
the following word?
NOH! PA -V'HOHER RUCH'T
<DoH! pa' -vo' ruch!>
The meaning isn't quite right, but if someone was just going through
TKD trying to figure out how to say something, "proceed" could be
interpreted in this way. I wish we had some audio to listen to...
Oh, actually, I found the audio at the link I posted earlier, which
may or may not have been removed by the mailing list. The audio can
be heard at:
crichtonklingons DOT ytmnd DOT com
It actually sounds pretty close to the transcribed version...
