&gt; That comes across oddly. Do you like it better than {meHDaq maH} or {lIrI&#39;lI&#39; meH}?</p>
<p>Hmmm... jumbej.  &quot;This is the bridge&quot; jatlhDI&#39; vay&#39;, nuq &#39;oS?  chaq  {meHDaq pIrI&#39;lI&#39;}.</p>

&gt; I got &quot;inventory computer&quot; from that, but if it were me I might have strayed further from the original and gone with {cha toghpu&#39; De&#39;wI&#39;. Dach pagh}</p>

&gt; &quot;Are you receiving us&quot; I would translate as {jabbI&#39;IDvam boHevlI&#39;&#39;a&#39;?} or back to {cheQoy&#39;a&#39;} as you used earlier. I&#39;m used to it in English but it seems oddly literal in Klingon.</p>

<p>Qov:<br>
&gt; listing (which is indeed a ridiculous thing for a ship to do in space, but ships listing in space as a sign of damage is a venerable Star Trek tradition so I won&#39;t hold you responsible) is not translational. I would have gone straight for {taHchoH} but {loQ ronpu&#39;} describes it too.</p>
