lughbej {lutu'lu'}. In KGT, MO explains that this error is made so
frequently among Klingons that it has almost become acceptable, which
provided a nice backfit for things like what you found in TKD.
>> yuch Seghvam DamuS'a'?
> HIja'. yuch nap, qIj vImaS.
We haven't seen verbs of quality strung together in this way in canon. The
easiest way to do this is to simply repeat the noun:
{yuch nap, yuch qIj je vImaS.}
{'ej muq 'oS *yuch nap*? "Milk chocolate" 'oS'a'? chaq "chocolate w/ nothing
in it" 'oS.}
