<p>Oh, good suggestions.  I think {choHqangbe&#39;wI&#39;pu&#39;} captures &quot;conservative elements&quot; very well.</p>

&gt; That would be net jatlh. </p>
<p>Why?  The subject is the {choHqangbe&#39;wI&#39;pu&#39;} here.  Is the connection with the previous sentence not clear enough?</p>
<p>Qov:<br>
&gt; I might go to something incorporating HeghvIS QaQ law&#39; torvIS QaQ puS.</p>
<p>I had considered a variation of that line.  I thought it might be a little bit too blunt considering that a conservative Klingon says exactly this later in the movie.  OTOH maybe the Klingon translation should be more blunt/less subtle than the English dialogue.</p>
