lung'a', not lung'e'.
lung - a lizardlike type of animal.
I added the -'a' suffix. It's not just a big lizard, it's a different
species, a major lizard, etc.
I know KGT p48,49 says:
>>>
... Code names are the
equivalent of Federation locutions such as "Operation
Cougar" and are therefore often translated in that pat-
tern: targh Qu' ("Operation Targ"), lung Qu' ("Operation
Dragon"; a lung is not really a dragon, but that is a close
approximation), 'aqtu' Qu' ("Operation Aktuh").
<<<
But I always add -'a' to differentiate it from plain ole "lizard".

Hoch isn't just "everyone", it is also "all, everything".
"All the prey animals"

Now just put it all together.
"If a species which hunts, kills all the prey animals, then that species
will likely die."

"the captain beats the officer. i see him."
/yaS qIp HoD. vIlegh./
/yaS qIpbogh HoD vIlegh./
"I see the captain which hit the officer."
or
"I see the officer which the captain hit."
> 'Iv vIlegh?
> (whom do i see?)
Add the suffix -'e'.
/yaS qIpbogh HoD'e' vIlegh./
"I see the captain which hit the officer."
/yaS'e' qIpbogh HoD vIlegh./
"I see the officer which the captain hit."
