{yu'} is not a noun, it's a verb. You don't want to say you *have* it,
either. Try it like this:
loQ Sayu'
I question you a little.
(Besides, you ask more than one question below.)

If you're trying to say, "Is the KLI's pIqaD good," you've got the subject in
the wrong place.
QaQ'a' tlhIngan Hol yejHaD pIqaD?

The KLI's pIqaD is just a simple sound-to-character mapping. I'm sure the
true Klingon writing system is more complex and interesting, since we know
that it maps well to the various dialects. So, no, the KLI's pIqaD is not
canon, and we have no power to make up anything about the use of Klingon.

Northern and southern Klingons?
