Hm. {joSchuq} qaq law' {joS} qaq puS 'e' vISIv.

I'm not saying the usage is wrong, but to me 'op Sung would be better
than Sung puS here. Sung puS seems a bit like a calque (presumably "a
few natives"?), and in the Klingon it sounds like the emphasis is on
there having been *only* a few (so puS as opposed to law', rather than
puS as opposed to pagh).

If it were me I'd say Qenvob wa'maH cheb'a', but I'm not sure if I
really find wa'maH cheb'a' Qenvob objectionable. I don't know why.
Maybe wa'maH cheb'a' ngI'bogh Qenvob might be better.
