QeS lagh:
>latlh mu'vam rurbogh chovnatlh DIghaj'a'? motlh wotmey DIpmey je 
>rarchuqlaHbe'bej. luchenmoHlaw' {nIb} "be identical" {poH} "period of time"

I *almost* thought <Doghjey> (n) "unconditional surrender"
was another example, but upon checking the parts, I found
<Dogh> (v) "be foolish, silly" + <jey> (v) "defeat".  There
is a noun <jey> (n) "itinerary", but no noun <jey> meaning
"defeat".  Still, an "unconditional surrender" may be/result
in a "foolish itinerary", from a Klingon point of view!
