I get it. ghe'naQ nIt is opera, as in tIn Qan Alley, the place here all the
music publishers used to be in some major American city, and a common
expression for the music publishing business, as Wall Street is to finance
or Fleet Street to the press. Following that tradition, along with the
stricture that ghe'naQ nIt is gibberish to modern Klingon speakers, we get:
loQ manIHchoH DaH wIneH.

YMMV. jIHvaD tlhaQ.
