I know I already posted this, but it's an important point and mustn't be
trusted to a slow mailer. "*vIH'egh" doesn't work. "vIH" does *not* mean
to move something else, it means to be mobile. Suggesting it as "to move
oneself" implies the transitive meaning of "move" in English, see how it
has an object in the English? (oneself)? Remember, you can't just replace
the Klingon words English words and expect them to make sense.
