According to Jeremy Cowan:

matlh HeghqangmoHlu'.
or, possibly better for THIS English (depending on whether it
is a situation or a thing referred to as "it":
Heghqang matlh 'e' qaSmoH wanI'/Doch.
> 2) How would YOU say, "It made him/her willing to destroy the ship"?
Presuming that the listing of Qaw' as a noun is an error in TKD
and that it really is a VERB:
Duj Qaw'qang ghaH 'e' qaSmoH wanI'/Doch.
I don't like any doubly transitive Qaw'moH constructions, but
that's a personal point of style, I suppose. Doing so seems
like going way out of your way to create a problem with the
wrong tool.
> 3) And to be complete, "It made Maltz willing to destroy the ship"?
Duj Qaw'qang matlh 'e' qaSmoH wanI'/Doch

All my canon searchable files are at my other computer. I'll
try to remember to look later.
