I think we've seen several sentences from Okrand that have words like
{wanI'} and {ghu'} used in ways different than you'd comfortably use them in
English. I'm not in a position to look them up now, but my impression has
always been that such expressions are fairly normal in Klingon. They're
only klunky because you're thinking of the English translation.
