Okrand, in HolQed 8.3:

"When {tlhoy} is used, it denotes that the action expressed by the verb is 
what is being overly done or done too much. ... To express the idea of 'too 
much gagh' or 'too many tribbles,' the verb {'Iq} 'be too many, be too 
much' is used adjectivally. For example: {yIHmey 'Iq vIlegh} 'I see too 
many tribbles'. {qagh 'Iq vISop} 'I eat too much gagh.' Sometimes, the word 
{law'qu'} 'be very many' ... is translated 'be too many.' If the context is 
clear, this is acceptable, but if it important to stress the idea of 
'overly many, overly much, more than there ought to be,' {tlhoy} or {'Iq} 
is usually employed."
