Notes
wIy is ship's jargon for the "tactical display" mode of a jIH. When used otherwise, it might be translated as "schematic" or "graphic representation" or the like.
wIy cha'
Display tactical! STMP/TKD (clipped)
wIy yIcha'

tlhIngan wIy
Klingon Tactical Display SP3 (title)
wIy was one of the eleven original Klingon words created by James Doohan and spoken by Mark Lenard (through a set of prosthetic teeth) in the opening scene of Star Trek: the Motion Picture which Marc Okrand subsequently used as the basis for tlhIngan Hol.
Lieven L. Litaer (Facebook group tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI'pu', 1 Dec 2010):
Finally, someone last year asked for the word for picture... he thought about it some more and said that another word, mIllogh, could be used for any sort of depiction, including drawings, photographs, cartoons, icons on 21st-century computers, and so on.
Similar words:
HaSta visual display (on monitor) (n)
jIH monitor, terminal [device] (n)
bey' ceremonial display (n) (e.g. on a wall)
mIllogh picture, image, (visual) depiction, drawing (n)
cha' show, display (picture) (v)
Hotlh project, put on (screen); scan (v)
The difference between these verbs is not clear (at least to me), though cha' seems to be the more general of of the two:
yIHotlh
Put him on the screen! TKD
nuHotlhpu''a'
Have they scanned us? TKD
yIHotlh
Scan it! KGT
