This is canon.  I cannot question its validity.

I do have a question about understanding it just as it is composed.

{vaj wa' tlhIngan ghob potlhqu'} seems to have a verb acting as an adjective
(TKD 4.4).  But, I cannot find any word in this phrase acting as a main verb. 

Is this a new (?) construction showing that the entire phrase after {vaj} IS
something?

Help!
