{chay' vatlh DIS poH cha'maH wa' che'ron choH cham?}

Or maybe instead of a question, a statement with two verbs and {'ej}:

{cham vIqel 'ej vatlh DIS poH cha'maH wa' che'ron DuH vIDel}

Here, would you read {DuH} first as a stative "possible battlefield(s)", or 
as a noun "battlefield possibility(ies)?   Either way, I think it fits the 
idea.
