[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Hotlh

[Steven Boozer]

AFAIK no, but I had the exact same thought.  I gave all the examples of each that I know of.

Note we have a derived noun {HotlhwI'} “scanner”.

There is also the related verb {cha'} "show, display [picture]" which has been used quite a  lot:

DoS cha'
Display target! STMP
wIy cha'
Display tactical! (Clipped)  STMP
wIy yIcha'
Show the tactical display! TKD/KCD
HaSta yIcha'
Show the visual display! TKD
mIvwIjDaq poghlIj vIcha'
I display your glove on my helmet. KGT
tlhIngan Dujmey law'qu' SommeyDaq batlh cha'lu'
[It] has been emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon starships. SP1
motlh ray' luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh cha' tlhIngan Duj jIH'a'
The main viewer on a Klingon ship is usually overlaid with a complex target acquisition grid. SP3

================================================================
From: De'vID
Has the two meanings of {Hotlh} ever been explained? Are they shades of the same word? Homophones which might be confusing? If I give the order {yIHotlh!}, am I expecting the target to both be scanned and displayed on screen?
