You caught the meaning pretty well, but I'd have translated it with the
word "often" somewhere else. "It doesn't do it often" has a different
emphasis than "It often doesn't do it", and I think the second meaning
is more what the Klingon sentence is trying to say.
>Wouldn't {je} be between {be'} and {loD} or am I missing something important?
TKD 5.3: "The conjunctions joining nouns come after the final noun."
{loD be' je} is correct.
