ghuS

be prepared, be ready (to launch)

Part of speech

verb

Pronunciation

ɣuʂ

Sound out ghuS letter by letter:

• ghɣvoiced version of H, like a growled gargle
• uuu as in 'boot'
• Sʂretroflex sh, between English 's' and 'sh'

• This verb never takes the suffix -rup. It is used primarily in reference to torpedoes---so much so that if the object is not specifically stated, and context does not dictate otherwise, it is always assumed to be torpedoes. [TKD pp.37--38]

The word "be" was inserted before the adjectival "ready".
