vIghItlh:

>jIQochbe'qu'. (qeqqu' - is this canon, or a <Qagh>?)

mu'tlheghlIj laDtaHvISlu', Qagh tu'be'lu'. yabwIjDaq 'oH Qagh. 
mojaQ 'oH <-qu'> 'e' vItlhojbe'pu'! <TKD> vIlo'pu' 'ej tera'ngan Hol
jatlhlu'taHvIS, <fierce, be fierce> 'oH[*] <qu'> 'e' vItu'pu'! 
tera'Daq jIHmo', nonchoHlaw'taH yabwIj...

[*] I know <'oH> isn't really the right word to use in this case. Can 
anyone suggest a better one?

  Is it clear enough that my <tera'ngan Hol jatlhlu'taHvIS> refers only to 
the subordinate clause? (eg "I observed that, while speaking Terran, <qu'> 
means <fierce>", rather than, "While speaking Terran I observed that 
<qu'> means <fierce>")
