Perhaps:  QIt QIt Hoch vIghojtaH.

4.2.5. Type 5: Indefinite subject/ability

OK, if I understand how this is working, then the example in TKD: naDev
puqpu' tu'lu' "there are children around here," shouldn't it be: naDev
puqpu' lutu'lu'?

lIy 'oHbe' lIy Daleghpu'bogh.
[The comet you saw was no comet.]
vavlI' HoHta'bogh jaghmeyma' vIHoHta' jIH'e'.
[I killed out enemies who killed your father.]
