Off the track a bit, but here goes: Dajatlhbogh must have an object also,
due to the verb prefix Da-. Since languages, not quotes, are objects of
jatlh, the speaker on KCD must have been expressing an inability to
understand your language. Thus, yIjatlhqa' means that the other person would
have to say it again in another language or still not be understood, qar'a'?
