You have a good point about being too Englishy, and it's good to keep in
mind. But on the other hand, it's not like English is the only language
that shortens things, and using *Hech *with a noun object that represents
some sort of intended outcome doesn't seem to me to stretch the basic idea
of the verb so much that a Klingon would only consider it after too much
exposure to *DIvI' Hol*.
