qoror here. I've been taking things from the addendum in the back of
KGT, and I just made a marvelous discovery. We finally know what the sentence
from the beginning of Power Klingon that we couldn't figure out was! A new
word, {qotlh}, "deserve, warrant." So the sentence is: {bIyIntaH 'e'
Daqotlhbe'.} Go over it (I just did) and you'll find it makes perfect sense.
"You do not deserve to keep living. It fits in perfectly with the context, too.
But in Okrandian style, I'll add a new question along with this answer.
In the final sequence on PK, the Klingon says {De' pegh vIghaj}. "I have secret
information." How is {pegh} being used? Does it also mean "be a secret"? Or
is it just strange apposition?
