<muvHa'> is probably something you do once, not an ongoing action, so this
doesn't quite work. <wa' ben ... vImuvHa'> is better, or you could say
<qaStaHvIS wa' DIS, QInghomvamDaq tlhIngan Hol yejHaDDaq je jIjeSbe'> or
something similar.

One of the few exceptions in Klingon is the rule about <neH>: if <neH> is
the second verb in a SAO construction, <'e'> is not used.

I know you tagline - "Linguist to the masses", but this is not how you
should translate it. <qev> is a verb meaning "crowd", so this would be
interpreted as "The linguist crowds (someone/something)". The noun for
"crowd" is <ghom'a'>, but I don't think this really gets the idea across
either. You could consider something Spock would like: <law'wI'pu' Holtej> -
"Linguist of the many".

lu'. <-mey> is type 2, and <-wIj> is type 4, so reverse the order. Also,
don't use <'e'> with <neH>.
