I'm sorry; when I wrote that, I'd forgotten which was the missing one. I
assumed it was the English, since that was what we were discussing then. I
noticed later, and would have posted a correction, but someone else already
brought it up the right way 'round. I didn't mean to be mysterious. Hagh
qoHpu' neH HeghtaHvIS SuvwI'pu'. (a "replacement proverb", for those who
lack PK. Basically, something to say when it looks like you've lost face.
Don't sweat the literal meaning. I also may have gotten it wrong)
