A Klingon screaming? Or the scream of a Klingon? I see it as the latter.

Well, I was going to say that I read it as something else, ("I hear a sound, that is, the scream
of a Klingon.") but then I saw the je, and that made me reconsider. To me, it looks like the je
and 'e' need to be switched. Because, I think, the je needs to be between two nouns. That way, the
'e' is pointing to both.
jach tlhIngan je wab 'e' vIQoy "I hear (something), that is, a sound and the scream of a Klingon."

I _think_ so, but I have no canon to back it up.

I have a feeling I'm totally missing something, but oh well. :-P
