I have to answer the same way, since you're not catching on to what I
mean with my questions. Let me translate what we've said:
You: Do Klingon ships carry fruits in order for the air and water to
make [something] new?
Me: What are you talking about that is made new? I think that you
didn't ask the question well. How can fruits influence air and
water making [something] new?
It looks like you should have used the suffix {-qa'} instead of {-moH}.
{chu'qa'meH muD bIQ je...} "...in order for the air and water to become
new again" would have worked perfectly.

{-vetlh} is a noun suffix. Try reading it again with that knowledge.

Hap? Better get that spell-checker online fast -- "see" is {legh}.
