If you really feel like you have to say something, I suggest {maj} and {majQa'}. Although these
expressions mean "Good!" and "Well done!", I believe the idea is basically the same: your opponent has
done a good job.
On the other hand, on this list I've very often seen {qatlho'} "I thank you", although nobody says {jItlho'}.
But you're right, these sound very un-klingon :-)
