Well, this is okay for Clipped Klingon, but it should be "yIqIm", since
it's an order.

"pongwIj 'oH *loDDoq*'e'"; you can't leave out the "is" in Klingon like you
do in Hebrew.
"SuH nuq"? "Ready! What?"??? You mean "SoH nuq?"? That would be "what
are you?" An answer like "A programmer" is what you want? Perhaps you
mean "'Iv SoH" or "SoH 'Iv" for "who are you?"
