vulHa'choH makes sense as "come to" or "return to consciousness" to me.
However, I'd probably regard most conscious people as being vulbe', rather =
than vulHa', since Klingons probably regard consciousness as the more natur=
al state for living creatures.

I might imagine, however, that some may refer to spiritual environment as =
=ABqa' vulHa'chu'[ta']ghach=BB.
