Thanks.  So Okrand has done it.

I've often thought that someone writing Klingon tongue twisters or 
children's verse (a la Dr. Seuss) could do something clever by repeatedly 
alternating both forms:  {QImmey SuD} "green eggs", {SuDbogh QImmey} "eggs 
that are green", {SuDqu'bogh QImmey SuD} "green eggs that are very green", etc.
