You must be referring to SKybox trading card SP3, which says:
motlh ray' luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh cha' tlhIngan Duj jIH'a'. motlh pIm
'ejyo' Dujmey.
I agree, the text is obviously using {motlh} as an adverbial.
After a lengthy search, I have managed to locate four trading cards with
Klingon text written by Marc Okrand:
from the DS9, 1993 series: card #99 - {Qu'}
from the TNG Episodes series, first season:
SP1 - {Qo'noS wo'}
SP2 - {SuvwI' taj}
SP3 - {tlhIngan wIy}
Does anyone know whether any other trading cards with Klingon text exist?
