If the (presumably large) Romulan picked the (presumably small) table up and smashed it over the Klingon’s head you could use {moq} “beat (something with an implement)”: (KGT 69): When the parties are ready, a third party, sort of a referee, says {moq}, the signal to begin. The verb {moq} literally means "beat" and it is a clipped form of, perhaps, {vImoq} ("I beat it") or even {vImoqpu'} ("I have beaten it"). In times past, one would hit something (such as a drum) with a stick to indicate the start of the duel; today, one simply says the word "beat". … or {qIp} "hit (with hand, fist, implement)” though, based on all the examples I know of, {qIp} seems to imply either using one’s hand/fist or hitting in general. We do have one useful example: molor qIpmeH wa' chap lo' qeylIS 'ej ghaHvo' yIt Kahless slaps Molor with the back of his hand, and walks away. (PB) So something like: ? tlhIngan nach moqmeH raS lo' romuluSngan. The Romulan hit the Klingon over the head with the table. I suppose you could use {Qach} “wield, swing (a weapon)” if you want to be even more vivid: {raS lo' romuluSngan} “the Romulan wielded the table (like a weapon)”. -- Voragh From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> On Behalf Of mayqel qunen'oS De'vID:
{tlhIngan nachvaD raS ngeQmoH romuluSngan}?
This is nice too. I'd totally forgotten the verb {ngeQ}.
