It is STILL gibberish. {manIH} can't take an object because of
the prefix. {DaH} doesn't belong there. Twist it around,
ignoring the prefix problem and you get "Now, we want to
slightly steal them (capable of language)." THAT is not
GIBBERISH?

There was a brief time when people were writing things backwards
in Klingon. The confusing thing is that so long as you
keep the Romanized clusters (tlh, ch, gh, etc.) in their
proper order, backwards Klingon looks a lot like forwards
Klingon, except gibberish. Slowly we caught on. Krankor was one
of the last to catch on and was ready to kill EVERYONE by the
time it was over.
I'd go along with the joke if the decoded Klingon then made
sense...
Next, someone will be writing backwards Musorskan ROT13...
Clipped.
