I'm not sure of how you're using <chay'>. In English, the word
"how" can be asking "by what means" in which case the answer would be
<ghaH luvangmoHmeH lunuQ yIHmey> or it can be asking "in what manner"
in whch case the answer would be <ghaH luQeHmoH yIHmey>. I'm guessing
your intent was the latter.
But do we have canon for this dual use of "how" in Klingon? I'm
not familiar with it.
