"The new {paq'batlh} shows us that a pregnant woman does {qeng} a child." (Lieven, 11/02/11):

  yatlh luqara' puqloD wa'DIch qenglI' 
  Lukara, pregnant of their first-born son (PB 184-5)

Obvious (?) derivations:

*{yatlhchoH}  become pregnant, conceive (?)

  Kohlar asked the pregnant B'Elanna, "Did you conceive during the
  holy month of Nay'Poq?" [VOY "Prophecy]

*{yatlhmoH}  impregnate (someone)?

Related words:

bogh 	be born (v)
