Use -laHbe' instead of -laHHa'. Actually, we do have canon from Okrand:
qeylIS lIjlaHbe'bogh vay' (i.e. Kahless, whom someone cannot forget)
from Skybox card S8 ("bat'telh, Klingon Sword of Honor"). You have to
specify *who* cannot forget him since it obviously cannot be Kahless
himself. If you're interested, the complete quotation is:
nuja' tlhIngan wIch ja'wI'pu' yIntaHvIS qeylIS'e' lIjlaHbe'bogh
vay' batlh 'etlhvam chenmoHlu'pu'.
According to Klingon legend, this sword of honor descends from
the time of Kahless the Unforgettable.
batlh bIghItlhjaj!
Voragh.
