[tlhIngan Hol] Maltz about HaSta

[Lieven L. Litaer]

Maltz clarified the word {HaSta}:

{HaSta} actually means "video," that is, moving (well, usually moving)
visual images. When used by itself on a ship, as part of ship's jargon,
however, it refers to the "visual display" mode of a {jIH} (viewing
screen).

{HaSta jIH} (television) is "video viewing screen," that is, a viewing
screen that displays video. (Although {HaSta jIH} literally means the
television's screen alone, it is used to refer to the entire device.)

{HaSta jIH much} ("television show"), frequently shortened to {HaSta
much}, is based on {HaSta jIH} (not on {HaSta} alone) and refers to what
is presented on the television screen (the content, not just the images).
