True, but remember, earlier Gowron said, "You {nov}, you outsiders..."
and "You will no longer be {nov}..." This is a key word to Gowron, not
to be expressed with slang. They key word should be repeated to drill
the lesson in.
It also just occurred to me: you might want to do this as
tlhIHvaD, novvaD, rop rur wIvlaHbe'ghach'e'.
