(verb) appears to have something to do with sending out a signal, or showing up on sensors. Lieven has written on Twitter that this word is similar to {tlhuD}. It used to be used to transmit
audio, but now is apparently also a way to transmit life signs:

Quote from Ep.2 ("Battle at the Binary Stars"):
CONNOR: "Captain, incoming! Warp signatures detected!"
{HoD, paw vay'. rIS 'op pIvghor 'e' vItu'.}
In Ep.6 "Lethe", {rISwI'} is used for "transponder".
