No idea, I'm afraid.

A minor quibble with regard to your translation on the message board: {bejbogh ghom'a' law' wISIch} is perfectly grammatical as said; it doesn't need to be {DISIch}. Remember that {law'} can be translated as "be much, be numerous" in addition to "be many", so a single thing can be {law'}: fuel, food, a crowd. It doesn't translate well into English, but in Klingon it's perfectly well-formed to say {ghom'a' law'} "a many-in-number crowd, a large crowd".
