_______________________________________________

(KGT 48):  Common militaristic acts also have associated terminology, both verbs ({DoHmoH}, drive back; {Hub}, defend; {yot, invade; {weH}, raid [same as {yot}, really, but with the added connotation of surprise or speed]; {HIv}, attack, assault; {Sev}, contain; {HeD}, retreat, withdraw) and nouns ({yot}, invasion, raid, incursion; {Hub}, defense).

SEE:
*yotna'  	definite invasion (n)
  -  "The {yotna'}, Klingon for definite invasion, is a special kind of gathering of experienced Klingon speakers, smaller than a {qep'a'}, but with no teaching intentions." (cf. http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Yotna )  [I.e. they "invade" the regular sci-fi/Klingon convention.}
  -  "a bunch of Klingon speakers who get together at Farpoint ... The idea is that the convention itself is largely irrelevant; the point is to speak Klingon with each other, without worrying about helping newbies and being accessible to explain our interest in Klingon. It's a very informal thing compared to the {qep'a'}." (SuStel) 
  -  "This last day will be our Outreach Day. We are inviting beginners, newbies, and other interested people to join us. The focus will be on teaching the language, helping people get into it, building bridges to existing Klingon 'fan' organizations [attending Renovation], and sharing our love of the language with others. Those of you who have attended one or more of the {yotna'} sessions we've had in the past will remember the evening parties where visitors were paired with grammarians in a wild frenzy of language learning. It was glorious." (Lawrence Schoen, 2/23/2011)
