Don't use {'e'} with {neH}. You simply leave it out.
Also, I don't think you really want an {'e'} sentence with {Qub}. Try this on
for size:
vImughmeH jIQubqangbe'.

Well, I don't know much about the intricacies of Klingon metaphors, beyond
TKW, that is, and there's not a lot there. *I* certainly liked it. Other
words dealing with the concept of the future are {leSSov} and {San}. Just
pointing them out; I don't mean you have to use them now.
