Ack! Only in the twisted dreams of that great Klingon painter, pIqa'So!
First off, it'd have to be the {-Du'} suffix, not the {-pu'} suffix, and
secondly, "forehead mountains" doesn't mean much to me in a normal
conversation. It might work in some poem somewhere, but that's it.

beQHa'
SuvwI' Quch beQbe'.
A warrior's bumpy forehead.
We are (so far) not allowed to put {-Ha'} on a verb acting adjectivally. And
the {Sep} isn't really necessary. Besides, for me in conjures up the idea of
a large expanse of space or area.
