}*KlI* qachegh.

{chegh} is "return" not "return to" so {qachegh} means "I return you."  

}tlhInganwIj Hol qaghoHa'.

{tlhInganwIj Hol} would mean "the language of my Klingon."  Put the noun
suffix on {Hol} to get {tlhIngan HolwIj} "my Klingon language."

I can't figure out where you are going with the next word. {qaghHa'} would
be "misinterrupt" "interrupt badly" or possibly "I now return you to your
scheduled programming" (i.e. end the interruption).  {qagho'Ha'} would be "I
misstep on you." And {qaghoH'a'} would be "do I argue with you?" All
addressed to one entity, you'd use {Sa-} not {qa-} for I - you (plural).

}yay qavam.

{yay qavan} would be "Victory, I salute you." {yay' qa'vam} "This spirit is
dumbfounded."  

}ghe'torDaq qa'urmangta'. 

{'urmang} is a noun, so verb prefixes and suffixes make no sense on it.  Try
{ghe'torDaq qamaghta'} - "I have betrayed you in the underworld."  That what
you meant?

}choqawbe' choqawHa' pagh.

"You don't remember me you misremember me nothing."

}ghojwI' qaQaQbe'!

"Learner, I won't good you!"

}qul waQ ghaytan Heraj
}SKI:
}Likely fire obstructs your course.

The adverb in Klingon must precede the OVS of the clause it modifies.  Note
that's O-V-S: Object-Verb-Subject.   So: {ghaytan Heraj waQ qul}.

bIyaj'a'?

SKI: Qov remembers beHwI"av just barely, kind of the way beHwI"av remembers
tlhIngan Hol. :P  Keep trying, beHwI"av, we'll get you back in shape.

P.S. Your subject line: the {-lu'} suffix makes no sense with {qa-}.  I
think you need to have a re-read of TKD.
