"Bite the muscle of the region."
Hmm, the region in question isn't really a muscle, but I've heard it called
that before. :)
Or perhaps: {Sepbogh Somraw yIchop}. "Bite the muscle that breeds."
Without {-bogh} there you would have two sentences, one for each verb. {Sep
Somraw} "the muscle breeds" and {yIchop} "bite [it]."
Note that in KGT Marc Okrand says that "Klingons generally Sep ("breed")
small animals," meaning that {Sep} is a verb for the activity of maintaining
the conditions such that some other being can reproduce. It might or might
not have the other English meaning.
BTW: {Somraw} not SomRaw. And {yIchop} not yiCHop Klingon capitals aren't
really that bad. Always shift for D, I, and S. Always shift for H when it
is alone but never when it is part of tlh, gh or ch. Distinguish between the
two separate letters q and Q. Never shift for anything else, even at the
beginning of a sentence. That's it.
Good to see you posting again, Metalviking.
