Since there's no noun for report, you can reword this to use it as a verb.
loQ jIja'. DaH yIlaD!
I will report a little. Read it now!

If you want to see a lot of information, then look for a big manuscript.

If you are willing to help me, then tell me.

I permit you to give my manuscript to friends but do not take money!

I hope you like my manuscript.

I cannot promise that connectations will succeed.
{-ghach} shouldn't be used with an intervening suffix between the verb and
{-ghach}. While not ungrammatical, it comes out as a highly marked term.
That's why I translated {rarghachmey} as "connectations." That word is just
as marked as the Klingon one.
Unfortunately, I really don't know what it is that you're talking about, so I
can't advise you on how to improve this sentence.
