ghobe'. 'ach lI', latlh chu' lughItlhlu'bogh lulughmoHlu'chugh.
{Qo'} is not used for "negative," which is what you meant here. {Qo'} means
"I won't!," or "I refuse!"
You've got two {-bogh} clauses on a single noun, with no conjunction.
Finally, I deleted the {jItlhIj} because it seems particularly unKlingon in
this context, not because it is ungrammatical.

An "alone book"?
paq neH luje' ghot law'. ghogh much je'be' chaH.
Many people buy only the book. They do not buy the voice presentations.
{ghogh much} seems to work for me. How about anyone else?

Klingon doesn't have a "not yet started" aspect.
wej jISuvchoHta'!
I have not yet begun to fight!
also
I had not yet begun to fight!
I will not yet have begun to fight!
No tense in there at all.
