Qu'vatlh! Having listened to it again, I can still hear
Okrand saying Qu' and not qu', that's what threw me. My
confusion as to who said QuQ is because the lines overlap
and it was hard to tell where one ended and the next began.

That's what I get for using a translator rather than
looking in the dictionary.

Of course it is, and I translated it as such. Ijust forgot
to correct my text.

So it is. That would make it: We die with honour. Much more
of a Klingon stament than: Oh well, in that case we die.
