** Caution - Grammar Zone Ahead **
ja' DloraH:
><qatlh> jIghel'egh
{ghel} means "ask (a question)". The parenthetical element indicates
to me that the object of this verb is a question. In order to refer
to the person being asked, I'd use the verb {yu'} "interrogate". One
might argue that this use of {-'egh} is just an extension of the way
verb prefixes can be warped to point to the recipient of an action,
but I think that would be taking things a bit too far.
In this case, maybe just {jIja'egh} would work, since you're merely
quoting what you said to yourself.
