During ritual sectioning of an alvera tree, the person who was performing the splicing of the tree had to repeatedly state the Kreetassan phrase, "Deelos takaa, seely estos oor-rah. Tenvla nikot pranab boko oor-tah." (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay") The spelling and formatting of this phrase, whose meaning is unknown, comes from the final draft script of "A Night in Sickbay". The script also notated its pronunciation as "DEE-lohs tah-KAH SEE-lee ES-toos oo-RAH. TENV-la nee-KOTT PRAH-nahb bow-kow oor-TAH."
