I've just finished reading Klingon for the Galactic Traveler, and on page 82
you'll find a bit which explains that multiple adjectival verbs on a noun is
not allowed. (Ah! Vindication! :) Okrand's formula for recasting this would
be
yoH SuvwI' 'ej matlh
or
yoHbogh SuvwI' 'ej matlhbogh
Another way to do this is
yoHbogh SuvwI' matlh
or
matlhbogh SuvwI' yoH
