A discussion about a misunderstood word (attached below) has led to a 
question about how we know what -Ha' means. I don't remember having 
had much trouble with it in context, or people unable to understand 
my usage. Do we just use context and canon? I'll pick some random 
verbs and you tell me what your tlhIngan Hol Duj tells you they mean. 
Qagh pagh lagh pagh Dap? I'll give my impressions in another e-mail 
so as not to prejudice your choices.

nenHa'
cha'Ha'
SevHa'
wuDHa'
tlhIvHa'
jeghHa'
'IqHa'
pumHa'
HeSHa'

Feel free to add more, add examples, write context, whatever adds to 
the discussion.
