I see this and recognize that if I answer the question you ask,
I have to say {laDtaHghach}, but I'll be wincing the whole time
I do it. The REAL answer is that you don't want to get a
genrundive at all. You want to recast the sentence using
grammatical tools more native to the Klingon language.
jIlaDDI' jIDoy'choH.
There are several other ways to say it, though I like them less:
jIlaDDI' muDoy'moH Qu'vetlh.
jIlaDtaHmo' jIDoy'.
etc.
