<< Well, {tlhegh} is "rope" or "line." I'd read {Dujtlhegh} as "painter" or

you're on a boat, rather than a line of vessels. If the noun were a sort of
being like {vetlhtlhegh} (shudder) I'd think of it as a marching formation.
If the noun were something that wouldn't logically have a line or rope
attached to it, then I'd probably start thinking "row of N." {beghtlhegh}
I'd read as "deflector array" without a lot of thought. But that's me.
There certainly isn't a consensus. We're KLINGONISTS after all. :)

I have used {ghottlhegh} for a "queue of people"; get in line. What do you
think of it?
