I'd probably go with something like:<br>
<br>
bInIv 'e' chIDbe'chugh jagh Dajeyta'bogh, bIQapchu'ta'be'.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure to what extent {chID} communicates accepting a difficult truth, as opposed to reporting some misstep or crime to some authority. I interpret the canonical {QaghmeylIj tIchID. yIyoH.} to be more about coming to terms with one's mistakes than the
act of reporting them, but I could be wrong.<br>
One could perhaps use {tlhoj} instead, assuming Claudian isn't specifically referring to a verbal admission, but rather an acceptance of fact.<br>
<br>
Can't help but think of an exchange between Gul Dukat and Weyoun:<br>
<br>
------<br>
Gul Dukat : A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness.<br>
<br>
Weyoun : Then you kill them?<br>
<br>
Gul Dukat : ...Only if it's necessary.<br>
