An idea for a HolQeD competition



  poHmey ngo' DuSaQmeyDaq "Caesar adsum jam forte" [1] / "Caesar had some jam
for tea" England Hol / Latin Hol rurbogh mu' Quj 'e' Sovlu'chu'.
  HolQeD paqHomvaD (competition) qech 'ey bIH'a' England Hol / tlhIngan Hol
rurbogh mu' Qujmey'e'?
  [1] = Caesar, naDev DaH 'ebmo' jIH

   DaH 'eybe' rurbogh mu' Qujvam, rapbe' DISmey ngo' DuSaQ Latin jatlhghach
QIchmey DISmeyvam DuSaQ Latin jatlhghach QIchmey je.

  OK, that last sentence is queryable, but how to express `pronunciation'
clearly here without letting a {-ghach} in? When CAN {-ghach be used}
properly??? Why have {-ghach} in the grammar book if it can hardly ever be
used? In another way to express this sentence, I needed a generalized
adverbial to say "differently from".
