There was a recent post of Klingon "taglines" which might be useful.
Search the tlhIngan-Hol archives for {loS SaD Hugh}.
>jabbI'ID bIngDaq 'oHtaH URL.
When you use a pronoun in a "to be" construction, you must put the
suffix {-'e'} on the sentence's subject. There's another way to say
this sort of thing: {jabbI'IDvam bIngDaq URL tu'lu'}. I prefer the
"one finds it" way to the "to be" way. Using "to be" in Klingon just
feels like cheating.
>jIHDaq mu'tlheghmey HIlI'.
"[You/y'all] send me sentences to me."
If you're going to say {jIHDaq}, you shouldn't use {HI-}. It's the
*sentences* that are being sent; they are the sentence's real object.
{-Daq} is appropriate for the verb {lI'}; in other similar sentences,
{-vaD} might be better.
>Proverbs joq quotes tIlI' neH.
Noun conjunctions like {joq} *follow* the nouns they join.
