Sheesh! I was only as far as a few honest mistakes away! I originally wanted
(I think) {choqembe'chugh}, but somehow the words changed from mind to
keyboard. I meant "If you _don't_ bring me my coffee now, I will remove your
$#@% tongue from your mouth!" I also obviously forgot the possessive suffixes
(suffices?) as well.
Oh, Qu'vatlh. :)
