Not quite. "Restore honour (to)" would be mIlHa'moH=3B mIlHa' is perhaps be=
tter glossed as "come back to honour=2C regain one's honour".

jIH je - I know it's good Klingon by definition=2C but this whole verse is =
so finely nuanced. I also liked the contrast drawn by using two overt prono=

l Y. It's almost like the men... de contrast in Greek=2C just done with a d=
ifferent=2C but just as effective=2C tool.
