The only time I would use {Hoch jIjatlh} is when the *quotation* is the word
{Hoch}. Thus, you said the word {Hoch}. Otherwise (and assuming {jatlh} can
take an object other than a language}, you'd need to use the {vI-} prefix.
(It's confusing, I agree, and we're really not sure how accurate this is.
There's a possible counter-example in the beginning of Power Klingon, but it's
spoken by a bumbling Earther . . .)

nuqjatlh? I don't think you intended {neH} to be a verb, so what *is* the
verb? And why do you keep using {'e' vIQub} when {-law'} does the same thing,
and is built into the language?
