That's what I see.

Take a closer look at that last letter. It's {H}, not {y}.

>3rd line - qun, history or to scold

Yep.

>			and something with an "r" in it

I think you're misreading {o}.  The word I see is {qon}.

>4th line - charghwI', conqueror or victor

Yep.

>Klingon) and drew a blank.

Try instead looking it up in _The Klingon Way_. :-)

>Any one else have any ideas?  I suppose Sam Thorp knows.

And everyone else who pored over the picture at qep'a' this year.
