I just purchased entirely too many of the Skybox Klingon language cards at
a Trek convention in Indianapolis. :-/ As I was reading them, I found the
following sentence on S21, {Soj} "Klingon(tm) Food":
yIntaHbogh tlhIngan Soj tlhol jablu'DI' tIvqu'lu'.
"Klingon food is best when served fresh and live."
The relevant phrase is {yIntaHbogh tlIngan Soj tlhol}. It's not perfect;
{yIn} isn't a "be something" verb. But it's close.
