According to the ST Encyclopedia, the phrase is "qab jIH nagil" which
purportedly means "face me if you dare." Obviously, the writer plucked
the words {qab}, {jIH} and {ngIl} from the TKD without using any effort
to produce a grammatical Klingon sentence.
If I were consulted on what to say during a SonchIy ceremony, I would
have them say: bIngIlchugh, HIghoS! (Approach me if you dare.)
