Hmmm - I forgot that I wanted to say Dachoq, as the Hebrew was a
term for 'preserve'.

	 DuqImtaHbogh rojDaq Dachoq Duvoqmo'

[I'm not convinced that 'jot' is better than 'roj'; also, what of rojDaq, 
AT-PEACE?  English also confuses "peace" as a military and spiritual
condition - why shouldn't Klingon?]

	yIrojqu'
