I can see how it would be hard not to say (not so hard for me because I'm
so used to the phonology of Klingon); your point, too, is taken.
Now, on to the Klingon. :)
"HInobchugh" doesn't really work... I can't see how you can combine a
command with a condition (if give me! ?) Probably "*sarq munobchugh
vay' vaj..." (I don't see what the "qoj" is doing there at all)
You used -qang well, but your word-order is off. The object of the
sentence, "wo'wIj" needs to precede the verb: wo'wIj vInobqang. It's hard
to get that internalized, and a good use of -qang is something to be proud
of.
