Yech.  I doubt that this is the sort of thing that Klingons use their pronouns 
for.  Adding verbal suffixes on pronouns happens sometimes, but I don't think 
entire concepts are supposed to center around that sort of thing.

tlhInganpu' wImojlaHbe'.  maboghDI' tera'nganpu' maH.

> 'ach qaSpu'DI' wa' puq poH,

"But as soon as one generation has occurred, we can be"?  This makes my point. 
 Use something other than pronouns.

'ach qaSpu'DI' wa' puq poH, tlhInganpu' wImojlaH.

But what exactly do you mean, anyway, by "We can become Klingons after one 
generation"?
