RE: KLBC: story, part 9

> Dubbe' ghu'.  chaH chev la''a'.

We know that {Dub} is transitive; the object is the thing that improves.  Make 
this {ghu' Dubbe'lu'}.

> ja'chuq 'e' tuch la''a' qal.

boQchuqlaHbe' 'e' Qub la''a'.

> rar yabchaj nIbmo' puqpu'.  QummeH, jatlhnISbe'.

{rar} is not "be connected," but "connect."  I would probably make this 
{yabchaj rarlu'pu'}.

bejmeH, yav QaDDaq Qam malIq.

> Qub velqa, "juH jIghoSlaHmeH, qabwIj vIpe'be'lu'ba'pu'."

juH vIghoSlaHmeH

> QIt qaStaHbej DISvam.

wa' tay luta'nIS.

or

wa' tay ta'nISlu'.

> Sum qojmey.  nIteb luchchaj naQ luqeng mangHompu' 'ej qojmey toS.
> DIS cha'DIch mangHom DevwI' moj QapwI' cheghbogh mangHom.

Did you mean this as "cadet who returns as the winner"?  It doesn't seem to 
parse correctly.

DIS cha'DIch mangHom DevwI' moj cheghwI' wa'DIch.

tayvam rInmoHchugh neH velqa, bortaSDaj ghajlaH.

> malIq HIvlaHbe' velqa.  najtaHvIS, porghDajvo' nachDaj pe' velqa.

This got a little confusing.

najtaHvIS velqa, malIq porghvo' nach pe' velqa.

> Doy'qu' pe'lora 'ej HuD tIn SallaH neH 'e' vItul.

'e' tul.

> nom HuD toS velqa 'ej QIt toS pe'lora.
> pay' bItchoH velqa 'ej leghmeH tlhe'DI' pum pe'lora.

This is also confusing.

pay' bItchoH velqa.  pe'lora leghmeH tlhe'DI' velqa, pum pe'lora.

> "HIQaH!" jach pe'lora.
> ghaH Qoy HochHom 'ach SaHbe'.  qojmey toStaH mangHompu'.
> nom qojmey ghIr velqa jachtaHvIS, "pa' ghoS.  HeH 'uch."

Hmmm . . .  If I were using clipped Klingon here, I don't know if I'd use 
{pa'}.  Probably just {ghoS.  HeH 'uch.}

Er, don't forget that after a Klingon dies, her body is considered an empty 
shell.
