Two explanations here:
  Either Riker realy thinks {nuqneH} is 'hello', as I did until recently,
  or he was trying too hard to follow the "rule" that {tlhIngan Hol} has
  things the other way round.

Riker: "Hm, I'd say 'I'm honored to see you. What do you want?'
        but I bet in Klingon it's the other way round!"

qar'a'?
