Definitely, this is good. I was specifically trying to show
how relative clauses can be done in Klingon, so I used
{-bogh} where it might work and showed other ways where it
wouldn't work, but you've done a fine job of proving my
point. Clarity of meaning is more important than sticking
with one particular grammatical construction.
