After reading all your replys, and being completely confused I decided to go
back to the Klingon Dictionary for help. I found the section on the verb suffix
<neS> (section 4.2.8)
The first example they gave was <qaleghneS> meaning <I am honored to see you>.
If I take what ~mark said it should mean <I see you, your honor>, but dictionary
seems to think otherwise.
If we take <qaleghneS> and remove the <qa> we end up with <leghneS> - <He is
honored to see it>
If we then add a <lu'> to make <leghlu'neS> - <One is honored to see it>
If we then change the <legh> to <ghaj> we have <ghajlu'neS> - <One is honored to
have it> as the only thing that changed was the verb.
Then we can simply add <tlhIngan 'Iw> to make <tlhIngan 'Iw ghajlu'neS> - <One
is honored to have Klingon blood> , which is approximately what I wanted.
We don't have <One has Klingon blood, your honor>.
In ~marks examples I did notice that it the examples he gave where <verb
subject> which he translated as <*********, your honor.>
