Shouldn't this last sentence of S31 have {'e'} before {maq}?  Or is {maq} 
like {jatlh}?
ghoS tlhIngan SuvwI' maq.

Here is the entire text of the card:

HeghDI' tlhIngan SuvwI' pagh tlhIngan SuvwI' HoHlu'DI' Heghtay lulop latlh 
tlhInganpu'. Heghtay luloptaHvIS chaH chaq bey SeQ lujach. Heghpu'bogh tlhIngan

'IQ pagh. Heghpu'bogh latlhpu' ghuHmoH bey. ghoS tlhIngan SuvwI' maq.    

When a Klingon warrior dies or is killed, other Klingons may perform a 
ceremonial howl or yell as part of the Klingon death ritual. The eyes of the fallen 
Klingon are opened and others roar in a great crescendo. This yell is 
victorious in nature, rather than mournful and also serves to warn the other dead that 
a Klingon warrior is coming.
