mIw wa'DIch Data' you accomplish the first step

Translation here comes from KGT. -- TKD translates as "procedure, process", while KGT says "step, stage (in a process)". KGT translation used here since all examples (mIw wa'DIch "first step", mIw paghDIch "zeroth step" and mIw HochDIch "last step" [KGT p.177]) seem to favor the "step" translation.

• nab — plan, procedure
• gho' — step on
