><poQ> means required, or damanded.

Careful.  {poQ} means "to require", not "be required."  There's a
difference.  You might want to let the BG answer this, that's what he's
there for!  You also can't put the -'a' question-suffix on a noun (-'a' as
a noun suffix is the augmentative).  Maybe

'ejyo' 'ampaSDaq tlhIngan Hol poQlu''a'?

or

tlhIngan Hol luHaD HaDwI'pu' 'e' poQ'a' 'ejyo' 'ampaS?

And so on.

Again, let the BG handle questions like this first.  The whole point of the
Grammarian/BG institution is to keep people from hearing many conflicting
answers.
