(ghunchu'wI', 8/22/2011):  As the duel between Kahless and Molor continues, the opera repeats a phrase several times: {pan qeylIS betleH 'ej jach molor 'etlh} "Kahless's batlh'etlh sparks and Molor's sword roars." I might not be remembering the lyrics exactly, so please don't take them as perfect canon.

ghunchu'wI' may have missed a word.  This line shows up in paq'batlh as:

qaStaHvIS wej rep 
  pan qeylIS betleH 
  'ej jach molor 'etlh HoS 

[translation unavailable]
	
{molor 'etlh HoS} "Molor's mighty/powerful sword"

PUN: flash in a pan?

HoS 		energy (n)
