Thanks for these suggestions, I originally considered {qaD} as a possible
candidate and will add {QIH} to the list.

Have several thesauri? thesauruses? yes them... on my desktop. But do they
define words as used in the 1800s?

Already ahead of you on this one, but a second vote for this construction is
welcome.
The latest draft is this one:
{mubechmoH ghaH'e'. mubechmoH 'ej vIchargh.
*Nibia* maSmey HayDaq, *Antares* vertaHwI''a' HoSghaj HayDaq, ghe''or
qulmey HayDaq je vItlha'; nargh 'e' vIchaw'pa'!}
I may yet change {chargh} to {jon} or {HoH}.
Thanks,
