<<tlhob>> rur <<ghel>>.
{ghel} is to {tlhob} as {jatlh} is to {ja'}. The direct object of {tlhob} is
typically a person, while the direct object of {ghel} is typically a
question, so if you use the prefix shortcut, {qaghelpu'} becomes {SoHvaD
jIghelpu'} or {SoHvaD vIghelpu'}. Basically, translating what he said into
normal, inefficient English, you get, "I have wanted to ask you a question,"
though, of course, in Klingon, you only need two words. qaghelpu' vIneH.
