nuqjatlh?  jIQochqu'!

"excellent"?!  {meHmeyDaq tIjaH}?!
Using a {-vo'}-marked noun after another noun to modify it?!
Placing a {-meH} clause at the end of a sentence?!

What you see as a "simple answer" to a long-standing issue, I see
merely as a poor attempt to translate something without knowing how
the grammar is supposed to work.  If Okrand *did* do this, I would
be very surprised.  I am already very disappointed by its quality.
