I'm guessing Voragh is extrapolating from <meQtaHbogh qachDaq Suv qoH neH> =
("Only a fool fights in a burning house.").
Interestingly, it seems <meQ> can also mean "be burnt" (as in <Ha'DIbaHmey =
meQ Sop 'e' tIv tera'nganpu'>) and "to cause to burn" (as in <to'waQ meQ vu=
twI'>). [I'm a bit suspicious toward that last one, myself, and always use =
<meQmoH>, but it is canon.]
Interestingly, I sumbled across this video from "Star Trek: Klingon", yeste=
rday: http://youtu.be/ljmey6wsmJQ?t=3D37s
While I can't tell exactly, it seems the first two lines are <'o meQ qul! '=
o meQ chal!>
This is interesting to me, as I've always wondered if <meQ qul> was a corre=
ct way to say "the fire is burning" (since the fire is not actually on fire=
or being burnt).
