That certainly makes for a better {bI'reS} than "the brave and argumentative"! <g>
Okrand has used the double {-bogh} before:
romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'
Romulan hunter-killer probe (KCD)
yoHbogh matlhbogh je SuvwI' Say'moHchu' may' 'Iw
The blood of battle washes clean the warrior brave and true. (Anthem)
Suto'vo'qor botlhDaq
pe'vIl joqchu'taH
quvbogh 'ej valbogh tIqDu' tIQ
[translation not available] (PB)
Come to think of it, we've also seen {SuvtaH} in the Anthem:
batlh maHeghbej 'ej yo' qIjDaq vavpu'ma' DImuv. pa' reH maSuvtaHqu'
Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet where we battle forever.
mamevQo'. maSuvtaH. ma'ov.
Battling on through the Eternal fight.
Anyone know if Okrand worked on KCD and the Anthem around the same time?
