TKD, first or second edition. Lift the front cover. On the page
before the title page (this page sticks to the cover in the second
edition because of the shoddy binding) is a page headed, "Learn to
Speak Klingon Like a Native with Easy Phrases Like:" The firt example
is "What do you want (greeting) - nuqneH."
If you only read that far in the book you would figure nuqneH was
"hello." You have to read the introduction to see that such
preliminaries are best skipped, and few people do, especially as Marc
has made it look like a dry collection of disclaimers and "thanks to
my funding body."

I use the dictionary mainly to look up the section numbers to tell
people to reread them. (I always say "reread" even when I suspect
someone hasn't read it in the first place, in order to hint that I
expect you to have read everything). wej Hoch KGT mu'tay vISov, 'ach

I'm lost in the attributions here. I'm hoping none of it is something
I said, because I don't remember saying it, and I don't understand it.
Don't you hate it when you look and see that you've written gibberish?
ghotpu' law' qawmoHlaw' pongwIj.
My name apparently reminds many people.
My name apparently causes many people to remember.
In context that works to mean "of me."
You could say ...
ghotpu' law'vaD muqawmoHlaw' pongwIj
... in the manner of the SkyBox card I don't have access to right now.
Something not much like WorfvaD qorDu' qawmoH Ha'qujDaj. "Worf's sash
reminds him of his family."
