The Hand of God in DUNE PART ONE & DUNE PART TWO
In DUNE 1 the Hand of God is shown as the protective glove of silence around Arrakis, that makes it difficult to use technology to govern the people and planet. In DUNE 2, the new ruler bypasses the need to use technology by calling upon the faith of the people & they willingly submit to the leadership of the Voice from the Outer World (Lisan Al Gaib) . Metaphorically speaking, Maud'Dib eclipses the Hand of God. Qithlas'ha

Hi David! I was wondering what the Chakobsa (and the transliteration) is for "As written" aka Stilgar's favorite phrase. Thank you!
The phrase is qithlas'ha. Now, regarding the apostrophe, it's written there to distinguish between a sequence of [s] and [h] sounds and [ʃ], which is written sh. I didn't make this distinction in the first movie or in my original documents. I think it was Jessie (@quothalinguist) that pointed out that it could be confusing that sh was sometimes pronounced [sh] and sometimes pronounced [ʃ]. This was accurate. Anyway, here's what it looks like:

Thanks for the ask!
