I didn't realize that {-lu'} was necessary with {-bogh}. I guess without
it, it must mean something like "the Klingon which he/she speaks", but with
no antecedent for he/she. I've also got to remember that every yes/no
question requires {-'a'}, no matter the context. Oh well, this always
happens in the early stages of language learning - interference from other
languages.
