I'm not really sure about Klingon attitudes toward women. This fits
one model, but then most Klingon women seem quite able to avoid being
conquered by pretty much anybody. It seems presumptive to use
{chargh}, though I understand why you chose that route.
I might go for something a bit more neutral in terms of assuming the
nature of the relationship or the action, like:
be'? ghaytanHa' be' ngoQ yaj loDHomvam nenbe'.
The rest is fine.
