this being said, I think it sounds close enough to {Quch'a' bIghaj}
that this might have been intended (someone may have read that some
Klingons pronounce {b} as "m") and this is certainly something a
"real" Klingon (i.e. one proud of her/his heritage) might reply to
with "thank you", although I don't know how Belanna feels...
(last time I watched the show, she wasn't very happy with her
Klingon part)
