{tlhoy jatlh} "talk excessively" comes to mind but how about *{jatlhqu'}? People often overlook {-qu'} "emphatic" with action verbs. E.g.
tIqIpqu' 'ej nom tIqIp
Hit them hard and hit them fast. TKW
naDev Dochvetlh qemqu'
I really mean it this time! Bring that here! PK
qara'qu'
That's an order. (ST5 notes)
Hmm... *{jatlhqu'taH} "rant and rave"??
