THERE! noun --> verb
(I'll check if I find more canon proof for this.)

I think a good example is {chay' jura'}, literally "how do you command us?", subtitled as "what are your orders?" in Star Trek III.

I think many beginners, if they were asked to translate "what are your orders?", would come up with {nuq bIH [order]meylIj'e'} and get stuck on missing a noun for "order, command".
