You missed the verb prefix. Check out TKD section 4.2.5.
SoH DaghuHmoHlu'
or just
DaghuHmoHlu'
Someone alerts you.
This is a pretty roundabout thing to say. How about just
qIm!
Pay attention! (Clipped Klingon, since you don't know if it should be {yIqIm}
or {peqIm} before you write it.)

"Tribbles live here."
Time for the new word:
naDev DabtaH yIHmey
Tribbles dwell here.
There's always been question as to whether or not {yIn} refers to the
biological processes of the body, or also the fact of one's long-term
existence in a location. Now, we see that it's probably not the latter.
Note also that {naDev} could either be working as it normally does, or be the
object of the sentence, since {Dab} means "reside in/at, dwell in/at."
