Good idea, if you're good at it ;-)

I would use {-choH} instead of {tagh}. Besides, that sentence sound _very_
weird to me. I would have said:
{vIHchoHmeH yabwIj qa'vIn neH vIlo'}
> Do' luSuq qechmey 'e' luraD java qurghmey.
> (The beans of java compell the thoughts to acquire speed.)
Is that the translation of that sentence?? Put non-Klingon words in
*asterisks*, please!
"Luckily, the Java-Bean force that the ideas acquire it." is what I
understand.
Where did you find "speed"? {gho'Do} is "sublight speed", but I don't know
any other.
Isn't {qurgh} plural already?

That's good. Except for {ghopDu'}, they are body parts. But perhabs you are
watching a horror movie, and there are many hands cut off, lying on the
ground, and then from all the sudden the hands starting moving with no
reason - then, {ghopmey} is okay :-)
> qI' 'oH vIHtaHghach'e'.
> (The movement is a warning.)
Is a warning? qI' means "to sign (a treaty)". Careful with -ghach, we can't
do a lot with it, actually, I don't even know WHAT we can do.
(NB: Your Klingon is pretty good, but perhabs you should post things like
that as KLBC. I just wanted to tell you, I don't know if you do know that.)
Heppa!
